yeah, all
he can do is wait to the morning
I'm sorry, but that's b*******
all
I can do is check my pig hourly, day and night from when the milk comes in until she starts to farrow and stay there throughout farrowing. AND mine are taken in a few days before to an easily accessible shed, with heat lamps and light (incase I, or a vet needs to intervene) and where was the sow's water in the trailer ?
And how come he, as someone who claims to care so much about his pigs, didn't know when she was due ? Or maybe he always waits til they're just about to drop before he moves them, given his less than ideal maternity unit - at the prices he sells piglets for he CAN afford a better set up
The bit that got my blood boiling (well, one of many
) was when he appeared from an arc with a basket of tiny piglets, holding them at chest height as they tried to clamber out and was going on about how careful you've got to be with them -these extra special very small ones !
As long as shows like the Lakes keep putting on pieces about these mini mongrals without doing adequate research into what they are telling people, the public will continue to see these as an acceptable house pet and in a year to two years time rescue centres the country over will be bursting with maxi micros !
Ooooo rant over, I'm off to bed !
G'night folks
