For example, if you are a Hampshire member, and you record a Duroc litter, you will not get the discounted litter rates for the Duroc litter.If you have any questions, as always, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
I hope you all are getting through this hot summer and are having a great show season!Whitney Hosier
