Heartbreak is…

your gilt farrowing, then having no mothering instinct whatsoever and the whole litter dies. And you think she ate the last one.

Now what…give her another chance, or send 10 months of time & money invested down the road?

We didn’t take our own advice about not buying fancy breeding stock when it came to the hogs. Won’t be making that mistake again.

Cross you fingers things go better with the other 2 gilts.

This is heartbreaking, too.

But…happiness is sleeping with the windows open for the first time this spring, and the smell of the earth waking up.
