I raised brood sows and always slept with them when farrowing began... they are sweet

3. late response... just came back

sows are older females, a brood sow would be a female that is kept for raising piglets... farrowing is the process of giving birth to the piglets...

I am a committed vegetarian now, still think pigs are awesome, although wouldn't raise them for that purpose now

they are very smart and affectionate if given love and the piglets are adorable

4. thanks for the reply

i stopped eating pork several years ago--it's actually been longer than "several" -- it was either a pic or video i saw of pigs heading up a ramp on their way to being slaughtered and hearing the frantic cries and screams of others in front of them--and i realized they knew what was coming. it was just horrific. that was the end of my pork consumption--i never wanted to be a party to such an ordeal ever again
