Sister sows, when raised together, will sometimes do what’s called co-mothering. They can nurse, protect, and nurture piglets from both litters. It’s a very cool thing to witness with Annie and Petunia, especially since both were first time mamas.
Petunia’s litter being older means they’re obviously much bigger already, but given the sight I was greeted with tonight, I think they’re doing just fine with the little guys.
That whole “it takes a village” applies to the children as well judging by this puddle of piglets 🐷
(There’s close to two dozen babies in this pile😂)
