Ah yes I should do an update to this. Well the vet was absolutely right, we've talked to him since and he's great. I know he was right because that first dose didn't work!! Or not completely. So I called him back and he told me to give her 18 cc. That knocked it out. Afterwards I did read a lot...

Also there's the' pregnancy indicator'. https://sugarmtnfarm.com/2011/08/28/pregnancy-indicator/

I second tracking their heats. It's probably the best way to know within a few weeks if they're pregnant. Or get a pregtone. I am new to this too I've been observing our sows trying to tracking heats. I thought it would be helpful to take pictures of their vulvas every day over 21 days. Sounds...

i guess it ddepends on personal preference but it is very doable to butcher your own pig if you must. i got a pig delivered for $70 bucks last year with all the mayhem. we shot it that night, and i cut it into primals, put them in trash bags put them all in our milk fridge and butchered one...
