make sure you are getting brucellousis (sp) free cert's on your sows and boars, cause this will cause non-preg's and miscarriges, and it will pass between sows and boars, cows and bulls, etc...

well hey there girls, oh my gosh. she is a dream come true. she is sooooo long yipee a bacon pig with shoulders too. LOL she is a yorkshire so white. very sweet and friendly. she had almost 5 hours in a comfy horse trailer. my friend lisa drove OVER the mtn. to get her. i paid cash. cash i earned from selling pennys foster calf. so a great deal. tomorroww i will brush her and start loving her. she had dinner and she is wound up. for now she is off my bedroom slider. we have an area here for babies and new comers. so i have said howdy many times. i had to lock the yorkie up. he was having a fit. he has shared his area with dogs calves chickens and now sweet pea the pig. he has a 6 foot dog run off a doggie door. it adjoins the pen she is in. they cannot reach each other. but can see each other. once he knows i say she belongs there he will settle. so he is locked in tonight. thanks for your interest. she is very pretty. she has 16 GOOD teats too. her first litter was 10. all grew up and did great. she is due in march on the 29th. heres hoping. happy days at the learn as you go silk purse tonight. pinch me she is here yipee. sherrye

Sherrye I'm so glad you found Sweet Pea,she sounds like a lovely pig,I want to get into pigs so bad but just have so many irons in the fire and already alot going on with the other animals,plus money is tight right now butI hope someday soon I'll be able to get one.
Sweet Pea sounds beautiful and her babies are not too far away for you,you will have to post some pictures for us,I think baby pigs are the dearest thing!Congratulations!
