NAILE and Winter Type Birth Dates

Post by Kyle Williams » Sat Jun 11, 2016 11:07 am

What are the birth dates I should be looking for if we want to show at:

NAILE or American Royal?

Winter Type Conference/SE Regional?

The Naile is Nov 3rd thru the 20th depending on when the swine shows are during then, you want them around 6 months at showtime, so I'd say born mid to late May would probably be ideal

Most of those have the information you need as far as what date pigs are to be farrowed after.

Late June to Early July pigs work well for Georgia. Barrows should be July, and gilts in that June and July time frame.
