Piggy, the farrow date said 1/1 on the website.

If your neighbor bought the boar, why does Hipoint still have him on their website?

I would be going in to check for a pig, especially with her previous history.

Coyote Ugly was a Lover Boy x 99 73-7.

Did your friend have good sized litters?

Has anybody out there used County Fare?

<t>Do you have a metal barn? I have heard that reception can be spotty going through metal. How far from the barn is your house?

What cross boars have worked for you the past 6 months or so? I am not interested in young prospects that look good, but focusing on market aged pigs that grew up, were sound and turned out well.

There was a video of Super 7 back when Forehand and RW were partners. ( Platinum Profile Genetics) Wish I had saved it.

You said she had a small litter and cleaned out. Did she just pass afterbirth once? If so, she just might have more pigs in there and that may be why she is uptight.

Does she show signs of still being in labor? Do you think she might have a stuck pig?

I put any leftover supplements in the freezer, sealed well. I never keep them longer than a year. Not sure if there is any data on that, and if they lose any potency. They seem to work later on.
