Getting a sow to stand for AI

[farmgineer]

How do I get a sow to stand for AI, she's swollen up and gone a bit red (not as much as I've seen but some difference). She came off the litter last Friday and I think shes on heat, just won't stand.

Any tricks or tips greatly received

No boar available or I'd let him do the work!!

Lean on her back a bit, she wants serving, ours come on heat Mondays and Tuesdays from Thursday weaning.

Bungee strap around her middle just in front of back legs, hooked together on her back. As deep a growl as you can manage while you lean on her back. It's not easy without a boar.
Normally right to ai just when swelling and redness starts to fade.
For future reference you can get boar pheromone spray.

Thanks I'll give it a go

When I used to AI sows, the boar pheromone spray was in routine use - it worked too ! Just try to keep it off your clothing and hands , it's pretty pervasive stuff .
