Big Wig, who is showing the one at the jackpots? Do you have any knowledge about the sow side of that one?

Any new updates on the Born Ready pigs? What sow type and bloodlines did you put him on?

I just inquired about him via email. Don't believe he has pigs on the ground yet, you need to call to find out.

I was told he has a lot of muscle, great width, very sound and a bit above moderate frame wise. He is a carrier as well.

From the quick research I did, it looks like this feed is a mash and is less expensive than the pelleted version. How much less is it? We are paying about $20=$21 per 50 lbs.

I agree that Showmaster baby feeds the best.

Oops, seemed as though I skipped through the middle posts and now see her bloodlines.

Do you know what her bloodlines are?

<t>I had something a little similar a few years ago. This sow passed a small portion of afterbirth a few days after farrowing. I had her on penicillin prior and after that.

I had the same worry on a gilt that farrowed recently. She popped 12 out in record time and didn't miss a beat. The pigs were all a nice size.

<t>I like that rubber mat idea. Sounds good. <br/> <br/> I had a gilt farrow about 4 weeks ago. ( in a crate ) <br/> <br/> She had 12 pigs in 90 minutes. The first 3 were born about 15 mins apart and then she spit the rest out like popcorn! During that time she kept sitting up, trying to stand up an...

<t>The sow was not feeling well at all today and would not eat about 5:00. Finally got her eating some a bit later.<br/> <br/> Should I pursue another antibiotic or let her be for now? She was doing great until I gave her the penicillan last night. <br/> <br/> Should I even worry about the edema in ...

<t>I have a sow due to farrow in two weeks. A few days ago I noticed one hind udder was enlarged. It is about the size of a small orange. Its firm , but not red looking or hot to the touch.<br/> <br/> I gave her a shot of long acting penicillin tonight. It made her pretty sick to her stomach and she...
