Update: Sow Watch 2010 turns into Piglet Watch
Mona gave birth to 16 little ones, which was more than any of us expected. But many have died. (Three were stillborn, four died soon after birth from weakness, and Mona sat on one.) Now we are left with 8 and are trying hard to keep them healthy. We’ve learned that large births are sometimes more a curse than a blessing. Mona has only 14 teats, so there isn’t enough milk for more piglets than that. But hopefully these 8 will stay strong.

Wow. Sat on one, eh? Well, it happens to the best of us, I guess.
It happens to me all the time.
