Another thing.... Berkshire and Hampshire also will usually contribute the white to an otherwise black pig... The belt on the hamps is DOMINANT.... I have had hamps crossed with durocs, tamworths, spotted hogs.... and the belt will show up... sometimes a partial belt, but it will show up. Had some of the prettiest red white belted pigs out of the hamp duroc crosses. Berks will pass the white feet to most all crosses also.... The dish face of the berks are also more dominant....
Hope this is some help.

I'm with you on trying to make him "make good" on them. But, it is a sad fact, that many will do things like that. Hope there is some recourse....
Accept NOTHING with the feral stripes, and hope that you now can better recognize the difference.... feral will have alot longer heads/snout.... for better rooting..... anything with more white will at least tell you there is more conventional breeding....
He has a business selling all kinds of farm animals...even if I receive nonthing "physical" from him , be it two decent piglets or money ( like that's going to happen lol) ...I want to look that man in the eyes and tell him what I think of him and his lies, and I will tag every ad I see him post animals for sale..
I think being lied to makes me more upset than the whole experience of the time and cost of everything....
It's not that I haven't raised pigs before and eaten them or sold them, ..I just detest someone who is dishonest and lies while looking right at me....;)...

Go Winston! What a good boy! I know that makes you proud.

Pigs-yes blast every ad he puts up. Give him the opportunity to make good on screwing you over on the pigs, if he doesn't, ruin his business.
No problem..if his lies don't ruin his business, then my truth certainly will :thumbsup

Ate some of my expensive pork chops last night, I had to laugh remembering the size of @ Baymule wilbers chops...mine were smaller than the palm of my hand, Way smaller, we each had two, but three would of been better lol...taste was good, not great...lesson learned..
Off to the dr. Today for the neck and arm issue, then she will schedule the appointment with the neurosurgeon that I went to last year that said I needed plates to fuse my neck...should of listened and done it then...but being my stubborn self, here I am...at least now I am totally convinced it needs to be done...
Only three puppies are not spoken for, and they are just six weeks old...the last three are only going to go as service dogs...I have said no to more people that want them as family pets, I have realized that Winston is the gene carrier that has made this litter extra special, his and Lilly's litter was good, but this litter with Jazz is outstanding....met the disabled veteran lady yesterday, it was like meeting up with a old friend :love
I have lots more to say but darn one finger pecking is killing my neck and arm...later all, have a great weekend :love:)

Word will get around that you have exceptional dogs and you aren’t ripping people’s heads off, priceways. There will come a day when you have a waiting list.

Sorry for your health woes. Sounds like you are headed for surgery and it won’t be any fun. :hugs

Isn’t home grown pork delicious? Snicker snicker....... I’m ducking my head dodging that swing you just took at me. LOL LOL

I'd try for the swing woman, but that monster pain shot has me drooling like a blubbering fool :lol:
She said drive straight home...and I did, will pick up the meds in the morning, and hopefully can hear on the phone when the surgeons office calls to start this neck surgery adventure...getting old ain't for wimps...but Wilbers pork chops sure would of been better than my teeny tiny hint of pork chops!

Just went to the Dr on Friday and got a call this afternoon that I am to see the neurosurgeon tomorrow afternoon ...well that sure was fast ! Probably is a good thing as my pecking finger that I try and type with shakes and twitchs so darn much , I can hardly do anything lol ....I have five family's that are driving here from hours to days to get their pups and I am not missing that special day for anything.....those are five of the pups that are going to three Austic children, one PTSD, and one downs syndrome family..and two more are pet homes, not missing May 10th and 11th for anything (other than my own death )..I am sure the three testing's that I have to do can be scheduled around those dates....
Really want to say hello to everybody, and I miss not being able to comment on others journals other than hitting the emoj thing to say I'm here ( or if something really makes me upset)....one of the three meds prescribed is oxycodone...I hate taking any medication especially something so addictive, so it is used only when pain is unbearable...certainly am not going to become a drug addicted senior citizen 🤪 lol,...I wonder if I will be told I HAVE to have the covid vaccine in order to have the surgery...don't want that either and definitely don't want to be told it is mandatory....heck I am more concerned about that scenario than having neck surgery 🤬.. other than these little bumps along the way, all chickens, ducks, rabbits, goats, everything is going well and doing fine 🤗...
I just realized it has taken me 35 minutes to peck this out with my right finger :lol:...better go before I wear it out, lol..:gig..there could be a joke here...but ya get it :gig
Ya all have a fantastic week, miss communication with everyone, :love:thumbsup Barb

@B&B Happy goats .... so sorry that you are dealing with the pain... but believe me I get it... if only the oxy would dull mine I would take it but I may as well eat m&m's for all I get from it. Way too much tolerance to pain, and drugs.....
I know that you will get the tests scheduled around the puppy pick up days.

My knees are scheduled for late Oct. They told me that I would PROBABLY have to have a c-test before going in the hospital... but not required to have vaccine... and that who knows what the rules will be by then. I told them that I would NOT get vaccinated.... Dr had asked in Jan at the first appt if I was concerned about the covid virus and I said NO, that most all of us had had it and been exposed and I was not going to risk my healthy immune system for a "vaccine" that was not going to PREVENT it. He said okay... and went to the next question/comment. I would think that in Fl with your governor being somewhat sensible about the whole thing, that it would not be made mandatory.

Glad to see your thumbs up so we know you are still piddlin' along.... :thumbsup:thumbsup to you....
