What a dreadful thing to happen.  So sorry for you, and also your sow.  The high winds blew over two of my goat shelters (like pig arcs only bigger, with doors).  Thankfully, no livestock harmed, just scared.

I'm really sorry to be seeing this so late - so many problems with the weather and flooding etc hasn't given me much time to browse the forums properly, I'm afraid. Hope your sow has settled now. The last one I had who lost a litter (all stillborn) was fine - I just restricted her feed for the first three days after farrowing, to help the milk dry up.

Sow is doing fine niw although a little grumpy will let her nea a young bore within the next few days that will be the telling time in my opinion.

Thank you everyone for allthe kind words of support.
