We will be watching Sissy on this next litter.  If she does not lay down and farrow with ease, we will cull her - no exceptions to this rule on our farm.   

We expect our gilts / sows to find a nice secluded area where they can nest in private, lay down, and farrow naturally.  I should never have to pull piglets OR worry about the duration time between piglets, as we all know piglets will die in the birth canal if too much time has gone by.

Unfortunately, Sissy had a long labor and stepped on a few piglets.  Two strike rule on our farm and NO piglets from this upcoming litter will be sold as breeding stock, TERMINAL ONLY, no exception.
This allows me to make sure she will not pass on undesirable genetics.

All farmers that are selling registered stock or even non-registered stock should fully guarantee their breeding stock that they are selling to other farms.

It should be mandatory that exceptional genetics are being passed down generation to generation.

Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, And attend to your herds.  Proverbs 27:23
