Pigs

Pigs typically have litters that range from 8 to 12 piglets, but this can vary depending on the breed and the individual pig.

In the early 14th century a boar was said to haunt Cliffe Wood. A reward was offered for anyone who killed the animal. John Northrop Manningham saw the animal drinking from a well, took aim with his bow and arrow and killed the boar. To prove his feat he cut out the tongue of the boar and went off to claim his reward.

Another man saw the dead boar and decided to profit from the kill. He cut off the head and made his way to the court to claim the prize. Arriving before Manningham he offered the boars head to the court, however he was unable to offer an explanation as to why the tongue was missing. John Manningham turned up and showed the tongue claiming the reward of a piece of land which today is called Horton. A condition was that he and his heirs were to blow three blasts on a horn every St Martins Day.

The length of gestation is determined by factors such as the species involved, genetics, and environmental conditions. Biological factors like hormone levels, development of the fetus, and size of the species also play a role in determining the duration of gestation.

Raising hogs organically simply means that you use NO man-made chemicals or feeds. Natural foods and vitamins and minerals are used. When raising hogs, I used a formula for feed that I developed that called for certain amounts of corn, oats, molasses, minerals, vitamins, all natural ingredients, no chemicals, no meat byproducts, nothing that I could not trace back to nature. By developing your own feed formula or having your vet help you develop one, you should be able to stay away from store/mill brand feeds that contain artificial preservatives, growth hormones, steriods, etc. No hog should be fed meat or meat byproducts, and some brands of feeds contains meat.
