And the other advantage of bowl feeding is you don't have to keep picking up the piglets and taking them away, which most sows hate.   Once they are used to it, you just call them out of the arc, or to somewhere where the sow can't get to, they guzzle it all up, then they go back to being with their mum, which I feel is very important for them developmentally and for learning how to be a pig.

Pru is more than willing to let the piglets suckle on her, its just that she's producing very little if any milk.

[Blinkers]

Oh that's a good result so far (compared to 24hrs ago  ) .........are you still giving her the Oxy?

[HappyHippy]

How's Pru doing now ? and the babies ?

Thinking of you all 

[Padge]

doubtful there'll be much news today HH   he has a big day today

[Tamsaddle]

Is it Bodger getting married?

[Blinkers]

No, his son 

[Bodger]

Pru and the piglets seem to be out of the woods. Its only as of  today that she seems to have regained her appetite and started to let her milk down for her babies. Its been a long week I can tell you.

Robs the captain of the local cricket team and he made a bit of a gaff when he arranged his wedding to clash witht he last match of the season. Anyway, they managed to win without him and the  team called in for a double celebration with Rob and Jen after winning their match and promotion.
