Our fall litters are off to a good start. The white sow farrowed 15 and still has 14 live, snug in the straw.
We practice long lactations at Curiousfarmer. This sow was bred by our dark red boar, 9 weeks after farrowing, while still lactating.
This is highly unusual for today’s swine, but typical for the beef cow. Sometimes we have to look at other species to help us think outside the box. I’m often filled with wonder as I continue this journey away from conventional agriculture.
