It has been taken over by a hacker. Probably wont get fixed til after the holiday.

<t>We grafted 8 Poland babies onto a Hamp sow that we weaned 15 babies off of and she did real well raising them.<br/> What we did is at the time we weaned off her litter we left the smallest piglet in the creep with the Poland piglets for a short time ( 10 or so minutes) to get the smell of the ori...

<t>It is not unusual for them to stay swollen 4 or 5 days during a heat cycle. I am sure that is what was happening since she has not bagged up at all. Sorry to hear about the sales. I know how it goes though!<br/> Those Big steps were looking real good though. There are gonna be some happy youth wh...

I've got to work tomorrow, But if we get done before dark Susan and I will come out and take a gander.
I saw Lillian today and she told me what was happening, then I saw this post.

Give me a call tomorrow!

We bred our Easy Money gilt, who needed help in the muscle/base width department to Catalyst at crossroads. He did the trick real nicely adding not only muscle and base width but body also.

When we had time issues and couldn't do hand mating, we would leave the boar conjugating with the sow/gilt for 4 days after we first saw a successful mating. It worked out ok for us.

Hand mating is always preferred, but sometimes "ya gotta do what ya gotta do".

It is shipped fresh with an extender. They pack cool packs with is to help keep it at optimal temperature. I think overnight transport to anywhere would be fine.

<t>Several of the larger boar studs do this on a regular basis. I know for a fact that PSSS just shipped a big shipment of fresh semen internationally recently.<br/> <br/> Give the Boar stud you are interested in a call or email them and ask them if the do ship internationally and what their procedu...

Very cool addition Katey!
I think this thread needs a sticky for awhile though.

Thanks a bunch!

<t>Hog Doc,<br/> The Matrix also comes with a lid to draw doses with a needle and syringe. I shared my bottle with a friend and we used it to draw off the amount I needed and he took the bottle. We both used regular syringes to dose our sows.<br/> <br/> *EDIT*<br/> I should have included that we mad...

I Recently used matrix on 4 sows and used 7cc's on them. after finishing the series, two came in on day 5, one on day 7 and the last on day 8.

My sows ranged in size from 400 to 7oo lbs.

<t>Marshpigs, You will prbably want to get your friend to use a rag and milk his boars pouch into it to get that smell for your gilts. The saliva really doesn't do a lot but that musky smell off the pouch will have the desired effect.We keep a rag with that on it in a ziploc and it is good for about...
