I've heard that doing 15 days of treatment guys are getting more consistent results. I have used 15 days and mine came in on days 3 & 4 as well

This past winter I had a gilt that we lost. She went into labor and started pushing but nothing happened. We tried pulling pigs. He pelvis was plenty big. I have fairly beefy hands and could get my hand through her pelvic bone as could my larger friend. He has experience puling pigs and says that it...

Bought a young duroc sow and am having a hard time telling when she is coming in heat. I just started her on matrix because I want to know when is is in for sure. My question is I've heard of sows getting cysts and then can be treated with lutalyse, can I use it while she is on matrix or will that c...

Thanks for the info guys. Will do, I appreciate it! Wish me luck

So I bought a young duroc sow a couple months ago. And when she comes in heat she doesn't swell up as much as my other sows but she will get red and have discharge. It seems like she will have some discharge the first few days but stay red for quite a few days following. She will usually stay red fo...

Just to follow up, thank you for the answers. We induced last night and even though she went over a couple days she ended up having 7 babies. All were pretty small but are healthy.

I have a Gilt that is due today. She never came back in heat and got a very positive read on the preg tone. The problem is she is not showing much at all. We moved her into the crate and her belly dropped a couple inches and her teats started to puff up. Now nothing. Teats stopped dropping and no pr...

This mya be an odd question but how do you get pigs to stop chewing trough wood boards and gates? Anything you can put on them they wouldnt like the taste of? Thanks

Thank you sir. Found his picture under Shaffers retired boar page. I appreciate it

Does anyone know where the poland boar called "Power Drive" is or was? Or where I could at least find a picture of him? Thanks

Shaffers just uploaded a video of him on facebook this morning. I made it out to the open house and I loved him. Upheaded, very correct, square made and blended very well. Sounds weird but he actually gave me chills when he walked out. Just preordered him the other day

Thank You! I appreciate the reply!

Does a gilt or sow come in heat 21 days after the first day of being in heat or last? For example she comes in heat sept 1st and goes out on Sept 3rd. Would she come back in heat on the 22nd or 24th? Guess thats a question I've never thought about. Thanks!

Thanks Guys!
