new arrivals

[Boss Hog]

My Hampshire Gilt had pigs for the first time last night , 9 the best I can tell, all are doing well The Father is a Spotted Poland China .



I had a gilt Duroc that did not fair as well night before last, she lost all but one of her pigs. I hope to take her pig and place it with the Hampshire's. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Lookin good.......that reminds me of Arnold the pig on Green Acres.

a couple of months late, but did the Duroc crush her own babies or were they mosty dead on arrival ?

I wondered how too. I understand it is not uncommon to crush the newborn pigs.

I think they froze. It was very cold around 10 degrees and wind and her first litter. She is no longer among the living
