I have had a pig or more a year for the past 4 years or so. We started with two but didn't like it as they would run off together. With only one they always hung out with the goats and LGDs. With other areas of the farm finally where they need to be we decided to breed our latest gilt Moo Shu. Unfortunately, various things conspired to make that not happen. We still have her at the moment so she can be friends with our new sow.
Which leads me to our new sow, Truffle, who should arrive Tuesday or Wednesday. She is already bred and should farrow at the end of June. They told me they had 3 other sows in with the boar so not to expect a large litter. They also are not exactly sure on breed date so it will be fun figuring out when the farrowing will actually occur. This will be her 3rd farrowing.
Both Moo Shu and Truffle are Red Wattle's. Moo Shu is not registered but Truffle is. We may end up breeding Moo Shu to an Old Spot boar but we will see.
This is Moo Shu when she was picked up last fall.
This is Moo Shu getting her belly rubbed after getting locked in a stall when our electric fence went down this spring.
