Breeding a stress positive?

I have a real good replacement gilt but unfortunately she tested positive I'm just trying to get as much input as possible before we decide to ship her or keep her thanks.

Your farm, your rules. I tend not to mess with positive females. Breeding and farrowing is tough enough without having the genetic wild card. Plus the resulting progeny are carriers at best. I will track down littermates and test them. Good luck.
