ISO Farrowing Crates

I’m looking for a couple farrowing crates that have sides that will flip up so you can wean in the crate. Does anyone have any for sale or know who makes something like this?

ChronoMate vs Matrix

Does anyone have experience using ChronoMate in place of Matrix? It's a bit cheaper and seems to be basically the same product but I don't want to purchase that if it doesn't work as well. I've always had great response with Matrix

Lactation Feed Question

Currently I purchase a 15% protein complete feed that I use for all my pigs (gestation, lactation and feeders). I'm trying to decide if I should stick with this or order a different feed. I order 2 tons of ground feed at a time and have the ability to use that feed as a base to then add things and m...

Short Backed

I see all these boar studs describing boars as short backed. Can someone please explain what in the heck that means and why it’s a good thing?

PSSS Dispersal

I just saw that Prairie State is getting rid of the boar stud and selling off their boars. Has anyone seen any of their crossbred boars in person or had any litters by them. I'm looking for a boar to run with my sows, not have in stud, so any insight anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

Supplements for Weanlings

Are there any supplements or topdress products that are good for just weaned pigs? I have a couple litters that I am getting ready to start showing to kids and I want to make sure the pigs look their best.

Sire for Replacement Females

I have a Bulletproof x Legendary Split sow that I want to breed for some replacement females. She is a littermate to the Reserve Crossbred Barrow from the OH State Fair a few years ago. The last litter she raised had 12 pigs and she did a great job with them so she has good mothering ability. One of...
