Why farmers consider Duroc
Duroc is commonly considered as a sire line in crossbreeding for pork production. Ask how the particular cross fits your intended market.
Breeding considerations
Clarify whether a listed animal is Duroc or Duroc-cross and whether it is being sold for breeding or growing. A breed label is not a performance guarantee.
Feeding considerations
Before buying, ask what feed this batch currently receives and budget for feed and water after collection. Ask a qualified adviser to assess a ration for your animals; breed alone does not determine feeding needs.
What to check before buying piglets
Confirm the batch ID, date of birth, sex, parentage, price and number available. Ask for the records that support any claims made about an animal. Explain whether you intend to breed or raise pigs for sale.
