Today we work to pull the knots out of a situation we got into by not supervising the boars closely enough at Thanksgiving time. We have around forty head of sows to farrow and only thirty pens. This is something a farmer should cope with, but not complain loudly about. After all, it is a problem in the right direction, so to speak. We will try to move some of the early litters with their sows to an older building and group them with plenty of straw. Generally that practice goes pretty well and thankfully we have mild weather. Hopefully we don't have too many opinionated defensive sows.
