Yesterday I was feeling there's not much point in continuing to post if nobody's responding except FR.

However, as a result of emails I have received privately, expressing appreciation for my contribution and the couple of posts today from others, expressing their thoughts I see there's hope of different views being brought to the forum

Please guys - Don't be intimidated !!
Ignore those who ridicule your ideas.

On the one hand breeding hogs is easy, on the other hand there's plenty we still don't know, whatever certain people may claim.

All the decent breeders whom I chat to - most of them well known - are humble enough to admit that and we are always comparing notes and looking to improve things.

I look forward to positive energy and fresh ideas !!
