Suprise! Ginny had her babies last night! Things escalated quickly! Yesterday morning she was showing very little signs of labor and she was pretty chill most the day. I figured things were going to be slow since it was her first litter. I did chores at 8:45 last night and based off her signs I thought we would be having babies sometime during the day today. 9:00 or so she was acting like she was pushing I got kids in bed and was just watching the camera. I figured I would change my clothes and go check her and Joe calls me and says umm there are babies running around the crate! I’m like umm I just turned the camera off like 3 minutes ago I was just putting on pants! She gave me the first 3 babies in 5 minutes! In 2-2.5 hrs she gave me 11 babies with absolutely no help or no problems! She outshined her mother and sister and just calmly laid down and had babies, quickly! And she understood the assignment and gave us 9 males and 2 females! Perfect for feeder pigs! She was so patient and perfect with the babies! They are all nursing and she’s doing so good at being a momma! It was a great night in the barn with my momma and the new momma and we are full of babies everywhere! My momma heart is so happy! I could use a nap but things are looking great here at Rocky Ridge Grange!
Stay tuned!
