To tell fertility?????

[myheaven]

Ok my boar and gilt have ran together sence I got them in april (10th). They were uggg cant remember how old at the time (very tired had long hard day). They fit into med dog kennels for transpertation. The gilt is a mule foot duroc cross the boar is a hampshire/yorkshire cross. She has been cycling for several months already. I believe sence june. If I remember right they were born in december but yet the person I purchased them from on here would never call me back or return pm or email. I have seen the boar mount and do his job on the gilt. I have lost my calander to when she normaly cycles. I know heat can affect when and if the pigs will breed. But if she is not noticably pregnant or if she keeps going into noticable heat. How can I tell who goes? Shoot Ill just get rid of them both.
Which now brings me to another question. If he is steril will he still have boar taint? I notice no smell from him.

Is there testing (cheap) I can do on him and her?

You have not owned them long enough for the gilt to pig. I would anticipate a November delivery.

She is very easy to tell when she is in heat. I believe she should be going into heat soon. I have another gilt that has not been exposed to teh boar and she normally cycles after the little gilt. It looks like the big gilt is cycling. Im praying she is expecting. I would love to keep them. I have so much money wrapped into them.
