Just to clarify a few things, the gilt wasn't a first choice. It was the only thing a first year 4-h'er had to show (at a county show consisting of less than 60 pigs total) after her initial gilt died. The family is well aware of the situation and didn't expect to win anything, just to have a pig at...

Have a couple litters from this guy around 3 wks old. Just curious if anyone else used him?[/u]

How is Stick This as far as adding butt and chest width? And has anyone seen the Blue Heat boar at Hi Point?

I dont think it makes a difference how many jackpots there are in your area? Gas, entry fees, and feed still cost the same. Even if you win a show all it pays for is gas and entry fees. Has nothing to do with it.

What do most of you give for pre-breeding vaccines?

Whats evryone's experience with it? I weaned some pigs early and am thinking about using it? How does it do popping pigs out of that ugly stage?

I dont think Washington has any Jackpots at all. I am from Northwest Oregon and have never seen one. Which county are you?

There are lots of boars out that fit more of todays standards that have Roc on in the sows pedigree. He must have added something decent. I had 2 litters by him and I never had any problems with any of them. Both were fairly consistent to.
