Moving bred gilts

Post by futurepigbreeder » Tue Oct 08, 2019 7:22 pm

How long should I wait before I trailer my bred gilts?
How much of a risk would it be to move them within 30 days of breeding?

Within 30 days of breeding or farrowing?? If you're talking about within breeding once you've bred them and they're given time to settle and are out of their cycle you can move them. If you're talking about within 30 days of farrowing I think everyone does and believes it differently, I don't like to trailer and move anything within 2 weeks of farrowing but that is my own personal preference.
