Ginger born June 13th from Belle and Moonpie
Hogs
On Wednesday, June 1, 2016 big black momma sow had 6 live and 1 stillborn piglets - 5 black, and 2 brown - 1 black got stepped on and 1 red got sat on day one. Other 4 are going strong 4 days later. down to 2 by 3 weeks out and she killed the 2 in week 4. She was sent to the processor.
January 22, a failed birthing resulted in just one live piglet - nursed it, brought it to church and gave it to "A" the next day - it died of exposure on day 3.
January 23, 2017: Spotted sow "A" gave birth to 4 or 5 piglets - all were stepped on by other pigs except 1. We moved her into the barn - the next day another young sow showed no interest in her piglets (12) and we gave them to her - she accepted them readily. She is an excellent first-time mom with a good balance of gentleness and mothering - her own piglet is a spotted female (disappeared march - presumed dead) - recommend keeping her as a replacement sow.
AS of now we have three Colorado Mutle sows - one with a tint of reddish hair "02" (decent mother) one black with a small patch of grey hair on the rear flank "03" (stubborn - poor mother - cull?) and an all black (01)
January 30, 2017 Black pig "01" gave birth to 9, one died (found with Hazel the dog - did she kill it?) another died the next day - gave her another two piglets, one red and one white from another disinterested mother the next day.
Feb 7: Spotted sow "B" gave birth to several Total of 6 survived to 6 weeks, 1 from disinterested mutle mother "03" March 18 - he babies got double ear notch on right side and castrated. 5 of her own got single notch on right side, 4 females and 1 male (castrated) - she's a great mom.
11:33, 13 April 2017 (MDT) Turned boar in with mothers - earliest due date August 3 or so.
Sunday 6 August 2017: Black female with white saddle who was scheduled to go to Slaughter last Tuesday was retained because she appeared to be pregnant. She gave birth to 9 piglets today - we separated her by building an enclosure within the main pen. a week in and all are still alive - she appears to be an excellent mother and not too aggressive with people.
17 August - castrated all 4 males and ear notched on top of right ear
Thursday August 10 2017: Both spotted sows gave birth.
"1" Gave birth to 10 piglets in the morning in the open pen (one was stepped on by another pig) 9 live babies and mom were moved into a farrowing pen. All are spotted and doing fine the next day.
"2" gave birth to 5 live piglets in the evening after being moved into a farrowing pen. 5 are doing fine the next morning.
