Good to know. Thanks!!

They were pretty rung out after weaning. Fed 10lbs/day during lactation though. And even after weaning, I fed them more than normal when I turned them out into the lot because they looked skinnier than usual after weaning. Should I continue feeding them more until they come back in or is there any o...

Well here we sit on day 8 and I have only bred 1 of the 4 mentioned in the previous post due to the fact that the other 3 have yet to come in heat... Any guesses on an explanation for this? Really hasn't been that hot in our area. If anything, temps have been lower than normal.

Weaned 4 sows last Saturday (today is Thursday). Gave all 4 pg600 at weaning. Ordered semen Monday to breed them... None of them have returned into heat. Should I be worried? They act interested in the boar when I expose them (once morning after feeding, once evening after feeding) but won't stand. ...

Sorry for the lack of comma/question mark! Haha. Thanks for the advice! At least it got someones attention!

Have a pair of gilts that were bred last fall. Both made it about half way thru gestation and sluffed their litters. Had them tested. No diseases etc. So, here I am today breeding them back for fall. So, my question is, since they made it half way thru a pregnancy, should i treat them as gilts and b...

Had a sow farrow in February, gave her pg600 the day I weaned her with the intentions in breeding her the next cycle after. She came in heat 3 days after I gave her the shot, so I figured 3 weeks after that would be her next cycle. Well today is week 4 since she cycled last. Anyone have any issues w...

I'm sure someone has probably come up with this idea already but would it not be a genius idea for some boar studs or even showpig.com itself to offer some sort of gift card or buying credit for the holidays or birthdays or whatever? I keep getting asked by friends and family what I want for Christm...

I'm having a very similar situation go on right now. Sow hadn't cycled since she was weaned in January, gave her pg600 21 days ago, she came in heat standing and all. Ordered semen last Thursday, she was supposed to be in heat Friday and here we are on Monday with nothing yet.Hoping she comes in her...

Long story short, had a sow farrow this winter, weaned her pigs, she never did come back into heat after weaning. Started breeding for next spring about 3 weeks ago. Noticed she STILL hadn't been cycling so I though what the heck, I'll give her some Pg600, bang 3 days later she's swollen, standing p...

Went to breed a sow tonight. Just weaned 3 days ago, had some blood on the rod and was pretty far up inside of her but didn't really feel like I was 100% locked in. She took all the semen really easily in less than 15 seconds. Had no backflow which was good but was just wondering if I'm ok. She's ge...

Anyone make it out there to see them?? Thoughts?

I guess nobody went??

Anyone make it out to see the boars at premium blend? Sounds like they had a pretty good turnout. Specifically had a few boars in mind, those being Hitman as well as Trust Fund. Feel free to elaborate on others as well. Thanks!

Was wondering if anybody had advice as far as feeding and "ringing out" show gilts after their show careers are finished to be sows. I think I've had mine way too over conditioned for the crate the last few years and we've had to pull more pigs than I thought we should have. Any advice as ...
