BREEDING MY WESTERN HOGS

DelaneyColubrids Feb 02, 2007 02:45 AM

I was wondering if I could breed my hogs without burmating them?
A few people told me I could is this true or not?
Thanks

My female just laid eggs a few weeks ago. No brumation for them, but they had just come off of a 4 mth fast. I think they now have their seasons messed up!

Others may not agree but I wouldn't count on it. Just think about their natural habitat. Pretty damn cold during the fall and winter. I never brumate hogs for less than 60 days. Depending on where you live and where you can brumate, it is not too late to start right now.
