[QUOTE="Suffolk Serf, post: 7942976, member: 636"] Depends on the temperament of the sows. We used to run "dynamic groups" of sows running with boars, adding and taking from the group every week, sows were only added at weaning and taken from the group 10 weeks in pig. Worked quite well, but it was outdoors. Best to avoid any mixing up to 6 weeks in pig really though as the embryos don't implant properly until then and any stress could lose you piglets. [/QUOTE]
