Gilts are hard to get to stand for an experienced person. Keep trying, they may stand for you. Next time you raise replacements for your sows keep one boar to keep across the fence from them. They will come into strong heat for the boar and make it easier to breed them.
When I raised replacement gilts I would give them an injection of PG 600 before they reach maturity. About 5 1/5 months of age is about right. PG 600 is a hormone that will bring young gilts into heat. You will have to breed them on the second cycle after you inject them. This way they all come into heat at the same time, and are breed in the same week. That way your furrowing isn't scattered through a three or four week period. This is really important if you are selling feeder pigs. You'll have larger groups in the same weight range.
