Sky's the limit?
I have a gilt that I wanted to breed sky's the limit to. I have a couple questions before I make a final decision though.
Here are the main questions and concerns I have.
*Does sky's the limit sire true "producer" females? Or mainly terminal hogs?
*Do the offspring have appetites and gain well?
*Are his offspring tall at the point of the shoulder?
*Do his offspring have any flaws that are reoccurring (example: sloping shoulders,weak Pasterns?)
VERY IMPORTANTLY
*HOW LARGE ARE HIS OFFSPRING AT BIRTH AT AVERAGE, LARGER OR SMALLER?
Thanks in advance for any answers!

It's not all about being the heaviest muscled hog, Its about balance.
Re: Sky's the limit?
I recommend you call and talk to Moyer. I don't think anyone has bred more females or farrowed more Sky's the Limit than them. I think they'll be straight with you and can help direct you to the best boar for your gilt.

Re: Sky's the limit?
the pigs iv had out of him were really green early have herd of other people having same problems but pigs are usually problem free sky cam make his daddy look bad tho just my thoughts
Re: Sky's the limit?
I agree with Bonefreak about Sky Cam, he will also make pigs that look better at a young age than his sire. I still recommend calling the Moyers.

Bonefreak22 ~ What do you mean when you say Sky Cam makes his daddy look bad?

Re: Sky's the limit?
Thank you, I wasn't sure if "making his father look bad" as in a positive or negative sense. Glad to hear the that it's positive.
