Our sow Betty farrowed yesterday. 11 piglets were born in one of the port-a-huts out in the pasture. I was a little concerned about these new younguns out there in the cold last night. Temperatures got down into the upper 20's. But that didn't seem to bother these piglets at all. I guess some credit has to go to Betty. She's proving herself to be a real good mother.
With much colder weather and snow just around the corner, we have not planned any more litters until April/May of 2013.
