November Litters

Had a couple of nice litters in November before it turned quite cold. The hardiness of the piglets is still amazing to me. In this photo the piglets are a week old. The temperature is below freezing.

The red sow was bound and determined to join her litter up with her friend. I walked her back to her shelter, but that only lasted a couple days before she took her litter over to be with her friend and litter. It’s better if they can stay in their own shelter, which, thankfully, they farrowed each in their own shelter.

In the bottom photo you can see the white sow with her litter in the back of the shelter. They have 20 piglets between them at 10 days. We’ll see how many they can finish with.
