Out of 4 bred sows we have 2 had their pigs today. One was already nicely settled in the farrowing house (we keep them on pasture except when they are farrowing) but another one who appeared to be at least a couple of weeks out had hers in the pasture sometime this morning and we found them late this afternoon. Needless to say it was a surprise and we had to start scrambling. It's been in the 50's and raining all day due to a strong cold front moving in, but we had to get her in the barn, which we haven't had any luck with until now. Thankfully, she is very tame and we put the pigs and some corn in the front of the trailer and she went in the back with a little gentle coaxing. Now they are dry, warm, and protected from coyotes. The other two sows look like they should have their pigs any time. I am thankful though that we got 16 healthy pigs so far. This was the first litter for one sow so the litter was small and the second for the other. I checked them about 10 o'clock tonight and they were all nursing and vigorous looking, so maybe they will all turn out well. We shall see I guess.
