Gilts usually come into cycle every 3 weeks. Estrus occurs roughly every 21 days (until they are bred) and lasts for about 2-3 days

I don't think anyone can or should call it perfectly normal for show pigs. Yes you definitely see it a lot more in show pigs than in commercial operations, but why would anyone want to accept defects as normal. You can figure out the lines it is in if you study the pedigrees, but nobody has figured...
