    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Congrats. Always hate to lose any, but 11 is more than enough for a first time gilt to take care of them. Hope she does well with feeding and comes into her milk. Were you expecting them to start now???

    Coffee anyone ?

    It is hard for me to fathom that the temps in Montana swing so much... 50's to 90's back to snow and back to the 90's. Those are crazy weather swings. God bless you for living with them.

I wanted to get in at the dr office right down...

    Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

    So sorry for you getting sick... and sounds like it is pretty serious stuff... TAKE it easy and get over this. "Summer colds" and such like the pneumonia you have, are harder to get over I think than winter stuff...

    Yeah, the cannibalism is surprising to me too... I would definitely contact the company and just honestly tell them about your experiences. Noting the points they had been shipped from... I had a bunch of sexlinks that were mean and almost cannibal tendencies... they did fine out free range...
