Hello everyone,how are you? It's been days since I posted my last blog. This time I want to share a content which really broke my heart. Though this is not worth to be shared but I opted to because this will be a memory which I can look back in the future remembering our cherished sow. I hope you are going to support my blog. Thank you.
Our home was struck with grief yesterday. Our beloved sow, who had lived with us for over four years, stopped eating last Saturday, which was the beginning of everything.
She really wasn't interested in her food, despite everything I attempted to urge her to do. From time to time, I visited her to provide dextrose powder and water. Her condition did not get better in the days that followed. She went into early labor on August 5 and gave birth to fifteen piglets.
Eight of the fifteen piglets were delivered still, and it was a horrible sight to see. Our mother pig was obviously ill and had difficulty during the procedure. August 6th, the next day, was one of the hardest days I had ever had. Our cherished sow had passed away when I went to our pig cage to bottle-feed the piglets that were still alive.
She had been a vital source of money and a part of our family, so her passing affected me deeply. It was heartbreaking to see her dead body, and I started crying.
She has already given us so much throughout the years. She was more than just an animalārather, she was a part of our everyday existence, a calm, steady presence that made us smile. It felt like losing a family member when I lost her.
The next day, her remaining piglets also died, which only made the situation worse. It was a twin blow that destroyed our farm and left a huge hole in our hearts.
There are many highs and lows, pleasures and sorrows in farm life. Our sow's passing serves as a reminder of both the precarious nature of life and the close relationships we have with our animals. Our hearts will always hold the memories of her even if she is no longer with us. Rest easy our dear momma pig.
Thank you for reaching this far. Until my next content.
