Polly's Piggy Pregnancy Pointer
 |
| Waldo and Polly |
It's been a long time since I've done a pig post, over two months. I had hoped to have some good news for you by now, namely that we either had baby pigs or we had baby pigs on the way.

| Polly. Pregnant? |
The problem is that I've not seen any breeding behavior whatsoever.
According to Walter at Sugar Mountain, a pregnancy is detectable in a sow by the hind end of her female anatomy. If it points up, she is pregnant. If not, then she isn't. What happens as the piglets grow in the womb, the weight pulls the uterus down so that her genitalia is pulled up.
Polly's does not point up, although it not longer points down like it did a week ago. So maybe?
Polly will be one year old at the beginning of June and according to Walter that's an average age for first farrowing. Until then, all we can do is wait.
