Brandon,
My female is about 22 inches or so. She is three years old and this will be her first clutch. I have noticed her to putting nice size on this year already. They came out of hibernation sucking down rat fuzzies(I like to feed small and often). I will keep you posted on them. She is going into her prelay shed now.
Take care!
Brett
:Brett,
:how big are your hogs? IMO, most hog breeders today are breeding females at very small sizes. I bred hogs about 10 years ago, and my average female was 24-30". I did have one female that was around 40" and as big around as a racket ball. Back then I sold them for $30 ea. and really couldn't give them away. Wish I had them all now.lol. Good luck.

::Wow! Great Job! Sound like a great year! The womas are doing ok. I have lost a few but I should hopefully still get about 5-7. If I can get one to hatch I will be happy. I am thinking that next year will be much better. It was their year and they started late. Thanks for the advice on the greyband eggs. Time will tell. I hope they hatch since my adults do not have any red on them so it would be interesting to see what hatches. I am hoping to get eggs from my western hogs and my hondurans soon. They are both HUGE. I will keep you posted and good luck!
