Need help on Breeding Sow
I am new to the pig world, and have a sow whom is 8-9 months old that i am looking to breed. I am having a hard time finding a boar in my area that is at a farm i would consider sending my pig to, so i am thinking about doing A.I on her. She seems to be showing signs of heat about every 3 weeks (swollen & red). Can anyone give me any tips to make sure she is in heat, and im doing things right.

Go to: http://extension.usu.edu/htm/publications
Click on the link for swine. There are four publications on swine artificial insemination for beginners. They cover boar selection, heat detection, ordering and caring for semen, and the insemination process.
Hope this helps.
