Ever wondered how?

pigs still get to do it the way the Bood Lord intended - but they're remarkably maladroit, and need a bit of a hand sometimes...snapper37 will explain.

I think there is AI in the pig world though - I seem to remember mention of it in the Rare Breeds Trust magazine. Maybe it's just for breeds with not enough boars to get about.

I can't help but wonder on the train of thought that got this thread started....

It started off with a conversation along the lines of 'Oh look there's a big bull in that field with the cows' and progressed from there really.

Shortly after I started my PhD on the biometry (body measurements) of Medieval livestock, I was cycling in Northumbria, and noticed a ram in a field. "Gosh," I though, "He's got massively robust metacarpals".

It was only after that, I noticed what else he had that was massive....
