White or Light Cross Boars
Anybody out there have suggestions for a light or white cross boar that might have some pigs on the ground looking promising? Even a york boar that might be making good crosses?

Re: Which Way Should We Be Going?
I picked soundness first, There is a lot you can do with a feed bucket. Muscle second, after all you still need to have a pig with the potential to have enough of the right kind of muscle. I picked depth of body and rib third, because I absolutely HATE no eating pigs. I agree with you 100 percent!

S Curve in the Uterus
I had an interesting farrowing today. Most of the pigs were getting hung up under the pelvic bone. Here is a link to a diagram I found. http://nationalhogfarmer.com/reproduction/see-what-you-feel-assisted-farrowing-guide#slide-7-field_images-13891 They say this is due to a large litter pulling the u...

You need 16 hours of total light between normal daylight and artificial. <br/> <br/> I have used lights for years with my horses and occasionally with a pig if one t...

I personally try to use local boar studs so I don't have to ship semen. I think the majority of the quality issues are in the shipping and h...

Re: Litters

Also heard the same thing last spring, we bred 4 sows to him. Litter average born 11.5, lowest 9. Super Monster giving us no problems, sorry to the rest o...
