Geno is doing much better today... Thank goodness everything turned out all right. Poor Geno though, he has to spend his day with the chickens.
@Latestarter I still have to go back to school next year.
Glad to hear Geno is on the mend. Good that you have a vet available to you, with or without your father there to lead the way. The vet obviously thinks highly of you as an animal caregiver to work with/trust you.
I know you'd said previously you were in high school, but when you said "last day of school" I wasn't sure if that meant literally - you'd graduated, or just summer vaca and returning next year. I know there are several posters on here that are in college (or doing college work) as well...
Sorry, but without posted ages (and even then) there's no way to know how old a person you're "speaking" with is. That has good and bad aspects... Good in that I (personally) treat everyone the same and assume they are competent adults. Bad because I sometimes "assume" the person I'm conversing with has life experiences that they may not have... like most things, a double edged sword.
(My dad already said no but a girl can dream right?) 
But as you were mentioning the price, these people had a decent price for the gilts and barrows. According to the people we are getting them from, these pigs were only introduced in 2007. We also found out that besides one exclusive operation we would be the only people in our state raising them. I also just found out that the operation in my state is run by the same person who brought them into the US.
