| I've been around swine from birth to 15 with my parents, a short stint at 16-17 myself(I believe those had PRRS, but it wasn't tested), and then 26 to present running my own operation. Total pregnant sows in my own operation if you go by every parity, a few hundred, probably less than a thousand. By excuse in that context, are you implying I would want the work of farrowing done by a female to be lazy myself? I'm confused. I like farrowing, but I believe an argument could be made that a female running a farrowing operation could generate more net profit due to maternal instinct. My Grandmother was in charge of farrowing in their operation, at least some of it. | |
