These pigs (breeding sows) live on the Overesch organic farm. The farm has 110 breeding sows and 700 finishing pigs. A breeding sow, also known as a mother pig, has a gestation period of 115 days. A breeding sow gives birth to a litter of piglets twice a year. The piglets, often around 10 to 12, are born in the farrowing pen. The mother and her piglets remain together there for at least 45 days. The piglets are then moved to a separate area to grow into finishing pigs. Because the organic finishing pigs grow slowly, the meat is delicious.
