Some of you may remember that with Rosie's first litter she only had 4 babies and 2 were stillborn. So this time around John sat down with her and had a long talk. Basically, he told her she was not meeting expectations. Also, if she didn't make some much needed improvement, she would have to take a ride to town. For the entire pregnancy we were not very hopeful that she would have a large litter due to the fact that she wasn't nearly as large as Peaches was with her 10 piglet litter.
So last Thursday, Rosie exceeded expectations in the large litter category! She gave birth to 10 babies and ZERO were stillborn.
What a trooper! She was much more mature and experienced this time around.... calm and gentle. Good girl, Rosie!
