To squash this. Has anyone observed hogs in th wild laying eggs and seeing if they have any vascular systems developed. This will put this to rest forever. Until then everything is speculation. Not to put this on anyone's shoulders but frank u seem to be in the field the most where there is a high concentration of westerns/Mexicans. This would be ground breaking information that the hog community could benefit from. Could use info of course from many females to test this hypothesis.
