Our large white sow produced us 13 little critters yesterday afternoon, all born within 120mins! ;D
She was due Sunday, made a nest on Monday then finally just sprawled on the only bit of floor with no straw on it yesterday morning around 11, and began sending them out at 12, all done including afterbirth by 2pm! :thumbsup:
Sadly number 13 (unlucky!), the last one out, was a perfectly formed stillborn. He took much longer than the others to make an appearance so it seems he may have had trouble escaping! The sow had also squashed one this morning- a first ever for her, she's had two litters before and never lost one during the whole performance. Still, leaves us with 11 squeakers!
All are for sale if anyone is interested, mix of genders :pig:

Dad is also a large white. The two spots are some we rescued from a horrible farm (farmer should be prosecuted) on Tuesday night. Sneaked them in with her mid-labour and so far no probs ;D
Thanks Tamsaddle :)
