Can they store semen LW?  I have a feeling I heard of that in another species but can't remember what animal it was.  Could that be the answer in both cases?

I know 2 other people that have had unexplained delays over this winter too (despite being certain of service dates). I think it's just pigs proving that no matter how much you think you know, it's time you learned something else  ::) ;D
Photo's tomorrow folks  ;)

Congratulations.
I think the word is to expect the unexpected with pigs!
Hope you're all keeping warm and battening down the hatches for the forthcoming advised weather, think it will sweep past us landing slightly further north but extra straw all round tonite just in case.

Here's the long awaited photo  ;D (sorry 'bout the quality - blame Bruce ;))
I'll get some more over the next few days and add them on.
Unfortunately we lost little Lucky last night  :'( :'( :'(

Of the 6 remaining, we have 2 gilts and 4 boars.
1 gilt is reserved already, I'll need to give it a couple of days to see them up and about before I know whether the other gilt and which of the boars will be suitable for breeding.
If anyone's interested in breeding stock, please pm me as soon as you can (otherwise all the boys go for castration @ 6 weeks old)
Bloodlines are Te Whangi and Awakino
Breeding Registered weaners £120
Registered (as pets/pork) £80

Any questions - ask away
