Well we have been breeding our tamworth sow to a tam/berk boar for almost 4.5 years, last February (5 months ago) our sow was almost ready to farrow and suffered stillborn piglets due to a situation which stressed her out.

I have seen the boar breed her multiple times as recent as a few weeks ago however last week she actually appeared to be in labour... though no piglets have been born. Since that day there is nothing we seem to be able to do to keep her in their fenced area as she wants nothing to do with him, she has never acted like this before... given his noises she appears to be in heat.

Thoughts?
