>>>I had watched him pull pigs<<<

They sure have sharp needle teeth don’t they. I have had many a piercing of my fingers helping a sow start delivering.

We used to have one Poland China sow who would always need help with the first one and then grab a bushel basket because here they came - she usually had 12-14 each time.

Is it inherited?

That is what we had and Mela had to have the entire litter pulled and dead.

Her sister said “move over, here they come” and “aren’t they cute?”
