    It can be impossible to tell from belly/milk line until right before farrowing. We had a sow farrow last month with absolutely no signs beforehand. That being said, have you noticed if she has gone into heat since AI? It should be the same time every month so if you did AI when she was in heat on 12/1 she should have gone into heat again around Christmas and again last week (ish). Keep a close eye beginning of March. Milk line may drop a few days to hours before farrowing and when she starts nesting it will be within 24 hours. Good luck!

    Hello to everyone from rural South Central PA! Decided to try this site upon recommendation from LFTN podcast. I am excited to interact with like minded folks and share the knowledge I have acquired over the years but more so continue the lifelong journey of learning. I am still clawing my way out of the corporate world but my family and I are living our dreams on a very active homestead. This coming weekend will bring a hog slaughter and processing and next week it looks like the temps will have the maples flowing again. God bless and I look forward to the community here!
