each to there own and having the boar already makes sense
with any cross it is only when they are hanging up you will know for certain if the cross was right or not
now i may get shot down in flames here but we have never observed the boar when he goes on his happy holidays some times he never even takes there nickers off out the float and straight on the job if there are other boars nearby yes he could scent the area first it also works the other way with fresh females he will get the shittiest hole he can find and (splash it all over) cover himself from head to toe in glabber
don't let them run to long get them in pig and enjoy the experience

lol! My Berkshires are only 6 months old and the Large Blacks just babies really at 3 months - plenty of time to figure it out. Would you take a visiting gilt(s) Lillian or would it be best to think in terms of getting a pen (away from my other boars) set up here ? On that note I've just remembered Oor Syd is supposed to be getting a visitor while Adelaide is farrowing - best go and sort that out first, 3 weeks (ish) and counting

well we did our first AI, our boar spray is still in post somewhere grrr!!
i think we were about 12 hrs late, but that was cos we were waiting for vet to diagnose delilah before we ordered dorothys love potion.
first attempt was a bit dodgy, 2nd was really good, and third was ok but she'd rather have had a pie supper.
it was a learning experience but at least i think i recognised the times right, so if it doesnt work this time, itl be better next time!!
still hopeful though so fingers crossed. i did tell her it was an irish potion so im sure she was thinking about boyzone or something - thats just as good as boar spray  ha  ha
