It’s an exciting time at Briden Farm as our Gilt, female Pig, gets ready to Farrow (have babies) and become a Sow! One of the sure signs is when her body starts to show obvious signs of soon being able to feed her piglets…

Another she sign is when she builds her nest, which usually indicates the birthing will start within the next 12-24 hours. Just look at the beautiful nest she’s built…

I suspect by tomorrow morning we may have our first piglets and I also suspect this may be a sleepless night for Lara and I. I’ll do my best to keep You as up-to-date as things progress.
