Hello,
These are our two Berkshire gilts that are bred and due to farrow in the next few days.(I know you can't see one of the gilts very well, but, they are almost identical in every way) There is some question as to which boar they are bred. I will explain. As we are getting more involved with the American Mulefoot Hogs, we have decided to sell Bubba, our Large Black boar. These gilts were running with our Mulefoot boar Cletus, but, because we are selling Bubba, we thought that it would be a good idea to breed as many of our non-mulefoot pigs as possible to him before he leaves, so, we moved the girls in with Bubba. From the looks of the gilts, it could be either boar who bred them. They seem to have been bred at about the time of the switch. Well, I, for one, am excited to see what the piglets look like. Will they be cloven hoofed with big floppy ears, or will they be mule-footed with short, prick ears? Time will tell.
