Breeding Terminology
Hi- I'm in 4-H and I'm trying to complete my APR for Swine. I went to go see an artificial insemination. I know breeding terminology, but my mom checks over my record book to make sure everything looks good. Will it be weird when she sees I know breeding terminology? Or should I just say it in a way...

Re: How to protect skin from sunburn
I was worried about this too because I had a Yorkshire this past year. Before using human sunscreen, consult with your vet to make sure it's okay. I used a livestock sunscreen by Sullivan's. It was a bit pricey, but she didn't get sunburned! Also, try housing them in a shady part of your yard. If yo...

Re: Stubborn York
First of all, use the show stick you're most comfortable using. My preference is the whip, but use whatever works for you. I had a york this past year. She was a pain whenever I practiced with her, but then I go to the fair and she cooperated in the show ring! When the gilt tries to run away from yo...

Walking a pig
I was wondering if it's bad for pigs to just walk around without being trained with a whip, pipe, show stick, etc.? My friend told me it's bad for them to just walk around without being trained, but I kind of find that hard to believe. Is it true? Thanks!!!

Need to gain weight.... QUICK!!!!
I have a pig that's 197 lbs. and needs to be 210 lbs. by next Saturday. She's gaining strangely and will gain about 1.5 lbs. on some days, and then she'll gain nothing on other days. My 4-H leader said to give her paylean with an egg. She wasn't clear on how much paylean, how many times a day, and r...
