I own a Preg-tone II and I can actually tell that a sow is pregnant before the Preg-Tone reads positive.

Was she standing that morning when you ran the boar? Or was that the first time that you ran the boar that day?

I do apologize. When I first read this post, it came off much different than when I actually sit down and carefully read through it. It was not near as mean as I thought it was originally. This was my mistake and I jumped the gun before I carefully read everything. I am sorry. A word that you might ...

Am I thinking correctly here? What other supplements, besides Powerfill, would you be using? I am in the same situation. That i...
