Subject: RE: berkshire hogs



hillskinefarms - 3/9/2019 19:08 I can pretty consistently wean 7-7.5 per room. Once in a while we hit 8-8.5 but that is rare. A room is 5 sows. We generally farrow a room per week. Edit, I didn't word that well. We average 7-7.5 per sow in a group of 5 sows. We have some sows that farrow 10-12 live born per litter, but other sows have 5-6 live per litter. I a very happy if we wean 40 pigs in a room of 5 sows. Hope that makes more sense!



Guys that I have talked to that have experience with Berks say that they are hard to get bred, any truth to that?

What is your breeding %?   (How many sows get bred vs how many you breed?)

What is your farrowing rate?    (How many sows farrow vs how many get bred?)
