yes perhaps, that i will do. but neither of those purebreed (AI boars), that i should get my future boar to might be a bad idea. then im gona get triple cross future boar, instead of just F1
. to that issue, i might get an answer as i visited one farm here and convince him to share me one pure breed male piglet (largewhite). this farm owns 4 purebreed (landrace, largewhite, duroc & hamshire pietrain) exclusively use for their sows only. well, i hope he keeps gene data recording so we'll know which is which.
by the way, what do you mean of:
"all runts all culled after 1-2 days after being born as the producer has no time and expence to keep those that are not growing well"
you mean you kill all runt piglets? you keep sows in 2 or 2 n half year that would get 6 parities per sow, am i right?
