Rich built this traditional farrowing hut to provide a protected spot for an expecting gilt to have her litter. We've been trading guesses back and forth about when the event would be. So when I saw her disappear into her hut for several hours on such a nice sunny day when I might otherwise expect her to be hanging out in her wallow I had my suspicions. When I went out to check on things I found her inside with 7 new piglets!
