Following on from my previous post (re http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/forum/index.php?topic=23757.0) our sow is NOT pregnant (that’s another story and something we are going to peruse). However, whilst we resolve that we now have a run taken up and I'm looking to move pigs around.
I am proposing to put Elsie (the not pregnant sow) who is 3 years old in a run with Shallot (11 month Gilt) - both are OSB's. They have been in adjacent runs separated by pig netting for 3 weeks. The question is, should we be ok to put them together or will they fight?
Many thanks
Pete
They will have a little bit of a spat......but if they are of similar size and weight then it will be minimal. Stresnil given to both will make then lay down for a sleep and they will be mates when they wake up Short of that dose their feed up with a few cans of beer as it has the same effect.
