My 2.5 year old G.O.S Sows second litter will be weaned in 4 weeks time, I need to delay her going to the boar but how long can I leave it ?

I don't know that there is a limit as such but I am holding a couple of mine back at the moment for January litters. They will have been held for about 4 cycles. Hth

We have a 5 year old sow, who'd had a break of over a year between litters - as long as they don't get too fat you should be okay for a few months I'd say.
