Gilt question

Post by cah » Tue Oct 10, 2017 9:19 pm

We bred gilt and she stood like a champ .
Question is i don't know how long she had been standing. I am thinking back now I am thinking it was very early . Bred again 9 hours later but had some back flow . Any thoughts ?

Tough to say...having the heat cycle down is the most important part of the process. Back flow doesn't necessarily mean anything, except that maybe things weren't lined up right with the rod, etc. Without knowing a whole lot about your situation, the second dose at a later time should give you a shot at a bred gilt. The other thing going for you is that gilts in general cycle earlier than sows. Good luck!
