Rebreeding

So I'm thinking of weaning at 6 weeks instead of 4 weeks for show pigs. Will sows cycle back at about 5 days after weaning if I add these 2 weeks??

SmithXJonesXGreen
Smith is the sire
Jones is the sow's sire
If there is a third boar named its usually the sire's sire.

Re: Door wind block

In the food service industry they have vinyl strip doors for walk-in refrigerators don't know how pig proof they would be. For smaller doors I have seen people use mud flaps for semis. You might also look into getting some used conveyor belt material.

Re: Stout pin set?

Its the pelvic bone that runs horizontally just under tailhead. With today's heavy hams you want a strong pin bone to help carry the weight. In gilts they look at the cover over the "pins" to determine ease of breeding and farrowing.
