Re: Keeping Berkshire Pigs

That August 29th farrowing date for Linda's first litter is looming large.
And speaking of large, poor ol Linda is just miserably large. She seems barely able to get up for anything other than a meal (for which she jumps up, runs around the pen and whines for just like she has always done.)
One thing she is doing different is she has taken to laying down very slowly and carefully. Before, when we'd scratch her tummy, she would just flop down on the side opposite the one receiving the scratching. Now, she kneels down slowly and then eases over onto the side opposite the scratching. Presumably such behavior is to avoid crushing her pigs.
I feel like Marlin's wife in Finding Nemo: "Just think! In a few days we're going to be parents!"
