Re: Hi Point Genetics?

I will never use them again! Bred my best sow to Maker it Easy and she didn’t take. Never had a problem with her before. $800 down the drain....

Re: 225K sons

I bred a good sow to Make it Easy and didn’t stick either! I never had a problem with her before. Greed!!

Re: sow constipated

Went to local feed store and got some sow laxative. Didn't know they had it. Got her out and walked her around a bit and 24 hrs later pretty good poo. Thanks for all the responses.

sow constipated

I have a sow that just had babies 3 days ago and is constipated. I fed mo milk 4 days before delivery, but was wondering if I should continue with that? Fear is it might lead to mastitis. Any other recommendations for prevention of constipation. I have had 0 luck with bran.

Any Suggestions

I have a Berkshire gilt from Different Strokes and wondering what are some good Berk boars out there to breed her to? She is pretty good solid gilt that won Champion at local co. fair. Didn't know if I had many options as it seems the Berk breed is somewhat inner bred.

bred gilt

I have a gilt that was due on Thursday and just started to get milk when checked, and still no pigs. How long can it take before I should do something.
