Next year when we will only be producing meat pigs, I have been thinking about trying out a Saddleback x Hampshire cross to see whether that might result in slightly leaner pigs due to the Hampshire influence. Has anyone ever tried this cross, and if so what was the outcome? If we decide to go ahead with this idea the next problem would be finding a Hampshire boar down south - so far on the internet I have only found them far away in the north and scotland, and Deepark don't do AI. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Tamsaddle
