Here in Ohio we say, YOU'RE ABOUT AS USEFUL AS TITS ON A BOAR HOG.

Hog breeding research turned this one around years ago.  It seems that the number and spacing of teats on the boar hog is what controls the number and spacing on the offspring of that boar.  If we want 12 evenly spaced teats on our replacement gilts, we need the same thing on the boar we are using to rear these replacements.

But it still sounds good.

BTW I am thankful that I don't have to raise hogs for a living any more, but I am grateful for the opportunity and education furnished by that time in my life.
