Momma Pig, Lara, and all 8 Baby Piglets are doing well

2 Comments

It was quite a night, she was just 5 hours ahead of her due date, and she remained very calm and gentle throughout the 4-5 hour process. She was very gentle, with the babies and with me as I sat with her and as you can see in one of the Videos I was even patting her.

Lara with Her 8 Baby Piglets

This morning she was up and drank some water and when she went back to lay down she laid near the piglets and let them come to her. Well done Lara, well done!

Lara Is Having Piglets

Lara Soon To Be A Sow

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…

Lara’s Body Preparing for Motherhood

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…

Lara’s First Nest

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.

Happy Pigs

This time of Year the temperatures start to warm and we’re able to let our Pigs out more often. It’s good know, however, that they are even happy when they’re in their stall in the Barn. Just look at them in this video…

We enjoy seeing them happy whether they are in the Barn, or Outside. Be sure to check out our other videos and our podcasts at BridenFarm.productions
