It’s a long drive from Wisconsin to Duncan, Oklahoma. We look forward to our annual trip to the Fall Classic with great anticipation. More than a year’s worth of planning and hard work goes into this show, from the selection of which females to breed, which boars to use, to breeding, farrowing, selecting and feeding the prospects for both the breeding shows and weanling pig sift. Sometimes all the planning and hard work pays off. Often times it doesn’t. That is the nature of this business, and it’s what makes success that much sweeter when it is achieved.

After posting "Avoiding Farrowing Problems" there were several readers with questions about inducing labor. Below is an informational blog about inducing labor in show-pig females. While often times a controversial topic, this article and the research it references should give some peace of mind for those worried about this procedure. Hopefully I've addressed most of your concerns. Feel free to post comments in the comments area below!
