it is always interesting what you get when you cross        in this case 50%berkshire 25%duroc and 25% osb and it looks like the osb is the dominant gene dalmation pigs :pig: :farmer:

I've got a Kereopa gilt (brown & ginger), she's coming up to 10-months now & she's still quite "leggy".  Guess she's still going through the "teenage" phase - did yours do the same?  None of my other lines really went through this stage for so long, my Rebecca Gina girl did it for about 2 months, but she's quite "rangy" for a KK.

Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with this line?
