Gilt moving while being bred

Post by hybrid hamps » Wed Oct 26, 2016 3:31 pm

My gilt I went to breed late last night. I sprayed the boar spray and applied pressure to her back and she locked up and curled ears back. I put the rod in and she stood standing for about one minute and seemed to take about a quarter of the bottle. Then she she started walking around the rest of the time. Could I have got her bred?

Yes you could have. I recommend putting them in a small pen or crate so they are confined and use more spray. If it was the first service on a gilt, usually they stand better for second dose. Good luck.
