Re: If you were to start your own purebred operation....

Thanks for your replies! Mary-Okie you have a very good point, my market is local, but was thinking with adding a pure or 2 it could put me in a position to have an online sale so I have more of selection to try and expand.

If you were to start your own purebred operation....

If you were to start all over with purebred sows what would you start with? What genetic lines would you start with and build off of from there? I'm mainly raise xbred Showpigs, looking at starting to add some pures to my operation. I'm hoping this would create a good discussion about the pros and c...

TRUe GLO vs TRUE Show

I've been using True GLO and true guardian the past couple of years and absolutely love it! Saw an ad on Facebook for a new product called True Show. Just wondering what's the difference between the 2 and if anyone has tried both or true show?

Thanks

Swine Premises Identification Tags

Looking for some more information on the PIN tags. You need these to sell cull sows and boars? Do you need them to cross state line with show pigs. I called my vet and he didn't know they had such a thing for swine. Does anybody have a direct link to the rule and regulations. Are show pig breeders p...

Re: Prolapse before farrowing

I also have a gilt with a slight vaginal prolapse. She is due Thursday. I was kind of wondering maybe some penicillin would help? I'm assuming she has some type of infection? The prolapse isn't bad I just noticed a little bit hanging out this morning. She is pooping eating and drinking well.

Re: farrow house

Whats better the Art's Way Scientific or the Hog Haven? Im also looking at purchasing a portable farrowing house, the old barn just isn't cutting it anymore. Is there a big difference? Which one is gives a better bang for the $ as I'm sure neither are very cheap. thanks in advance!
