Sam,
Congrats... Nice looking from what I can tell. Thanks for the pics... I will keep busy for a week or so... That Great Basin is a beauty... Steve/ El Paso

Well done, always a nice feeling eh? Can I just ask what temp you incubated at? My hogs tend to hatch in 45-50 days at 81-82f.

thanks and yes it does feel good always when you get new babies.
i did it for the first 3 weeks at 80 and then at 82 ,
so when they came out it took a little longer and they are fatter.
