Best wishes for no further complications for the wife with the pregnancy. 
Sorry she's having a rough go of it. You know it's all your fault of course, right? Sorry about losing the ram, but nobody needs an aggressive animal to deal with, especially with kids. Glad you're catching a breather to get some work done.

I'm really glad things are looking up. Sometimes it all seems to be a real test.

How many pigs are you getting and what breed?
Pregnancy is not easy even when there are no problems. I hope your wife does better with the rest of her time. Nothing like a new born to make all that go away. Funny, we forget about all that stuff and just love the baby.

When it’s all said and done I’ll have about 5000+ sows, mostly largewhite/landrace crosses with some purebred large white. Usually about double that in piglets at any given time, our first gilts are set to farrow Sunday but I’ll probably see some this evening or tomorrow

I expect pork prices to drop in the next few weeks/months due to the new tariffs on certain exports. There was already a global pork glut from last year, so I sure don't expect domestic prices to hold steady or increase. Ground soybean prices may tank as well.
In a few months tho, as domestic pork production decreases, the price/100wt will naturally go up, so by August, things may be looking better for US pork producers.

So how many sows do you have now? Is this your full time job or are you working off farm to get your hog raising going?
