Sow had 12... ALL GILTS.. First time w/o any boars.

Something along those lines. I don't really know what the sows are, when I look at them I see Duroc and Poland china or old spots, the guy we borrowed the boar from said he thinks they've got some York in them too. The boar is a hamp X Berk. So yeah some thing along those lines. Pretty! Wow, that's awesome! Our numbers were 1 boy two girls in one litter and five boys and five girls in the other.
The mother of the litter of three. (This was before she had them) her name is Migory sow

Her and her pigs

The other sow who had the bigger litter. She's Piggy Sue and is sister to Migory.

Then there's this fellow, he's built like a tank. He's the father of both litters

I've never had to share a man.

You mean you don't want to be sister wives with Banty? Lol

Trouble, trouble. Still cute. May I trade for one unmanageable pre-teenager?

I feel sorry for you! Been there done that. Have an 18 year old I still can't manage. I would like to tell you it gets better but so far for me it's just gotten harder.

Thanks for that. Perhaps by winter I'll be able to negotiate it more easily.
Not intuitive for me at this point.

The PM function may be nicer but I have yet to see a 'send PM' button.

It's now called conversations. Don't know why they couldn't call it What it is. . pm. Isn't everything else a conversation as well! Lol. Don't try to use the app. It doesn't work at all.
That's terrible about your accidents! When It rains it pours doesn't it!

Our swine keep us busy! Goats keep us crazy! And the chicks keep me on feet!

This is all going on this moment in my brooder room...
If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing..

I love pigs and goats, probably my top two farm animals.
