Show Sow Bears Two Litters Of Pigs in Three Weeks ROCHESTER, IND. Fulton county coun-ty had its best pig story of the year recently. Everett Best, manager of the Otto McMahan farms near here, reported report-ed that on April 13, a registered Hampshire sow gave birth to six red pigs and three weeks later, on May 4, the same sow gave birth to nine Hampshire pigs. Best said he is bottle-feeding the six red pigs while the sow is caring for the others. Dr. T. P. Cook, a veterinarian, said it is possible for a sow to give birth to two litters of pigs of different differ-ent breeds within such a short time but it is a rarity. |
