    Quadruplets are supposed to be a rare occurrence but I have had 4 sets in 3 years from 3 different mothers.
    The difference between pigs and people is that when they tell you you're cured it isn't a good thing.

    They're very cute. Is the mom able to handle them by herself or do you have to bottle feed to supplement?

    Are the moms related---the ones who have all had the quads?

    Two of the mothers are related but one is a different breed.
    The quads are usually premature and have to be cared for inside, three are doing fine but one is 50/50 it may make it but is having a hard time clearing all the embryonic fluid from it's lungs.

    Sorry

    How big is your farm? I know you have horses and sheep. Do you have the sheep for milk/cheese?

    The sheep are for meat and the goats are for milk, I do eat the extra male goats though.
