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.
