Re: Problems
It sounds as though they all had small litters. Given you had to pull the pigs and that a high percentage of them were dead, I am guessing they went late into gestation (overdue). Often times when there are large litters the sows farrow earlier and when there are small litters the sows farrow later....

Re: Mistral Dealer in Ohio!
I don't, but you can get DRYGIENE from Lean Value Sires, Kalmbach Feeds, or Four Star Vets.

Re: Duroc x blue boar
The blue color in hogs originally came from Duroc. All blue hogs have a red gene. You will get red or blue either one on babies. Not sure if you mean "all blue hogs" or "hogs that are all blue". If you mean the latter, you are correct that there needs to be some Duroc to get the...

Thank you to everyone for the kind comments. The boar was purchased by Doug Heimer (Springbranch). We feel he is going to make some great females. Please contact Doug if you are interested in semen.

Re: 2014 Houston Grand Barrow Clones
There have been a number of hogs cloned over the years. Name me one that has truly made an impact on the industry. I will give you the fact that these are clones of a barrow however the clones of boars that I know of have yet to produce like the originals. And once again I am only stating my opinio...

Re: who's using the post cervical catheters?
little update. with post cervical you supposedly have a higher settle rate. reproduction provisions also says that older semen that it still mobile but maybe not as mobile so to speak does well with post cervical, because your dumping the semen in the uterus without it traveling through the cervix....

Re: 2014 Houston Grand Barrow Clones
Expecting these boars to generate pigs that looked like the Houston Champion is like asking a sire to produce hogs that look just like him. And we know that doesn't happen! I think the original post was referring to each of the clones siring similar offspring, not that the offspring would all look ...
