Getting ready for piglets
So she is due on the 14th, neighbor who used the same boar just had a litter of 13. Heading over in about 15 minutes to help with castration and iron shots. Gotta remember my ear plugs!!

Are boars born with descended testes?

So I was mistaken, the castration is next week, we did teeth and iron shots. I would not say they are descended. No piggies for me yet.

Sow had a nice litter of pigs- one didn’t make it through the birthing process and we have lost another one on day two and another one today (day three). Look to be runts. All got teeth nipped and their first Iron shot. The sow went after my wife yesterday – big mistake since the wife wants to make sausage out of her now. We will probably end up keeping one of the gilts out of this litter.
