Mildred is now due to farrow in the next week. I've moved her to new pasture so that the piglets have lovely fresh grass to start on - otherwise they'll get stuck in the mud!
She will farrow in the most natural of ways - in an ark without rails as she is an experienced mum. I will be keeping a close eye on her and on the day of birth I'll spend all or most of the day or night with her, or nearby at least so I can check on her every couple of hours.
Exciting times!
