if you want it to work you have to do it quick. if you dont give him an insane amount of paylean then the 16 on and 16 off shouldn't really matter. how much were you planning on giving him and how long is it til the day of your show?

I agree On the Verge is a really good boar! I saw that RW Genetics had some pigs out of Beach Boy at STC and they were okay, really small framed and pretty average. Weren't bad but weren't eye catchers but hey every sow is different and sometimes its hit and miss.

I would go with Greeter @ Purple Power or Royal @ Purple Power. They are both Hamp boars and are stress negative. Royal is a little more fancy but Greeter has a little more power and bone. I also really like Legend at Grimm's. He's a cross boar. Hope this helps!
