This weekend I saw 17 hogs at my place and it seemed that every sow is pregnant and is ready to drop pigglets in very near future. Never seen so many pregnant sows at once.
Is it normal for sows to give birth in Feb-March or does it happen all through out the year?

We had a domestic sow hanging out with one herd later in season. We never saw her but had 1000+ pics of her, and we watched her belly grow. My partner finally saw her last day of season with her pigs. They were all various colors with a lot of white in them. Should improve our herd some and get rid of those long anteater snouts

Long anteater snouts are "real" hogs. The shorter the snout, the closer it is to it's domestic parents.
