We inherited a couple of old sows but are having trouble getting them in pig, so have gone down the weaner route. We just bought 4 yesterday and thought we might give them a dose of noromectin to worm them before we get them home. Our old girls love all the apples this year.
Advice please
The folks who gave them to us said they were 5 y.o. and 4 litters but it is easy to forget a few years. I don't know if this is too old? They were also excessively fat, but have come back to a healthier size now. I tried A.I. and all the signs were ideal, but she didn't take. I believe they can go off the boil if not mated again soon enough?If they are old girls that's probably why you can't get them in pig.
