Piglet #1 
Cutting the cord (Carefully handling the piglet upside down helps
clear the airway, while we clamp and cut the
umbilical cord.)
Puppy Love
(Our Black Lab "Sophie" is very protective of
all of our little ones.)
Two perfectly belted Hampshires
(They need to have perfect markings in order
to be registered with the National Swine Registry.)
Allie delivering her 1st piglet (We named him Allen)
Davis' Hampshire gilt delivered her first litter of piglets on Tuesday, April 1st.
She was a good girl and started to deliver (Farrow) around noon.
She delivered 3 boars (boys) and 1 gilt (girl). She also delivered two beautiful stillborn babies. It looks like their umbilical cord was cut in utero. It is normal for a first time momma to have a small litter. She should have a much larger one next time.
