Hampshire and Landrace Swine needed for 4-H project in Central Louisiana. My Girls ages 12 and 10 and I are wanting to cross Hampshire and Landrace. We would like to cross the Hampshire gilt with the Landrace boar.
Details
We have heard that the Hampshire females are wonderful moms and the Landrace male has an extra long ribcage. We want to see which trates the pigglets will acquire. Will they be born with the extra rib and what color will they be? This is a 4 H project for the girls. The pigs do not have to be registered. We just want the white Landrace and the black and white Hamp. We want to buy some 20 pound pigs to raise. We are building our pig pen right now.
