    Pigs drink a lot of water when it’s in the 90’s.

    I don't know, actually.
    There are 10 in that batch, they are 75% kune kune / 25% AHG. I think the agh are supposed to make around 8 per hatch, maybe the kune are usually more prolific, but idk.
    I do know that this sow is definitely a keeper, she's a very good mother, and isn't too cranky towards us when she has piglets.
