Enjoy, my sweet girl. You're about to go on lockdown.π You may wonder why we don't let our sows farrow on pasture. The answer is quite simple: deep wallows. We are limited on space and as such, there are big holes in just about every area, and those holes are currently flooded with piglet killing water. The girls don't seem to mind being penned for a bit. We treat them to extra TLC while they are on maternity duty. If it's dry, we generally give mom the opportunity to venture out to graze when the babies are about a week old. As wet as it is here, that may be extended a few extra days. We want our pigs free to do pig things, but not when it puts any animal's safety at risk.
