Do you mind sharing your mortality rate?

i count 30 piglets in the one picture other than that i dunno how her rates are. In general rates are 10% loss whether you farrow, stall, or pasture raise. Each person may have different experiences based on their exact set up but generally if you average all piglets together there is a 10% loss across the board. So if you had 100 piglets you would likely lose 10 or if you had 44 piglets you would likly lose 5.

As mentioned i have no other details on those particular piglets the OP had.
