Post by: Farmernick on September 19, 2018, 07:36:05 pm

What size shelter would be suitable for 2-3 breeding sows? Thanks

Is this just a shelter you will use until they get close to farrowing? In which case it needs to be big enough that they can all get in, turn around and get up and down without standing on each other.

I often find 3 of our sows in the same standard ark (2.4x2.4m)
