No intervention necessary, both afterbirths ejected by the time I returned. 

What a clever pig!

I am absolutely delighted with the 5 healthy little bruisers; I wanted 4 or 5 but we all thought she'd be bound to have more.  I only served her one time, not three, so perhaps that's how come I just got 5. 

Anyway, Mum & babies, BH and myself are all warm and happy.  It's been a very long-held ambition to have a sow have piglets - and I couldn't have bettered the experience.
yes if a pig is served 3 times there are more piglets, if you AI twice  12 hours apart.....then yes more piglets also. but 5 for a first timmer is good..... a lower weight on the sow is a forgiving weight to her piglets..

I went to meet them  ;D (sorry, went to meet Sally saw the piglets  ;)). They have to be the cutest little creatures I've seen for a long time. They are chunky and tiny, charge about with their ears flapping and play the best wrestling/barging games. So lovely  ;D
