Betty’s Big Day: Welcoming 9 New Piglets to Iberico Acres
At Iberico Acres, every day brings exciting moments, but some are truly unforgettable. Today, we’re thrilled to share the story of Betty, one of our prized Iberico gilts, who recently farrowed and gave birth to a healthy litter of nine piglets—three boars and six gilts. This marks a significant milestone for our farm and reflects the dedication we put into raising the finest Iberico pigs.
Betty has always been a standout gilt on the farm. Her calm demeanor, strong genetics, and excellent health made her a top choice for breeding. Paired with our purebred Iberico boar, Abner, who has proven to sire exceptional litters, we had high hopes for her first farrowing. She did not disappoint.
The preparation for Betty’s farrowing was meticulous. From ensuring her living area was warm and comfortable to monitoring her diet closely, we made sure she had everything she needed for a safe and smooth delivery. The hard work paid off when Betty went into labor and delivered her litter without complications.
A Healthy Litter of 9
The arrival of Betty’s piglets was a cause for celebration. With three sturdy boars and six lively gilts, her litter exceeded our expectations. Each piglet is thriving, showing the early signs of strong Iberico traits that are essential for their growth and development. From their glossy coats to their vigorous appetite, these piglets are off to an excellent start in life.
The Importance of This Litter
This litter represents more than just a happy moment for Betty—it’s a testament to the success of our breeding program. By carefully selecting parents like Betty and Abner, we’re working to preserve the heritage of purebred Iberico pigs while contributing to the future of this exceptional breed.
As we continue to expand our herd, we remain committed to raising pigs that meet the highest standards of quality. These nine piglets will one day contribute to Iberico Acres’ legacy, either as breeders themselves or as part of the exceptional pork we offer to our customers.
Looking Ahead
The next few weeks are critical for Betty and her piglets. We’ll be monitoring their growth, providing plenty of nutrition for Betty to support her demanding role as a mother, and giving the piglets the best possible start. We’re also keeping an eye on their personalities and traits as they begin to grow—a process that never fails to fascinate us.
We’re proud of Betty and grateful for this new chapter at Iberico Acres. Stay tuned for updates as these little ones grow and thrive. If you’d like to learn more about our breeding program or are interested in supporting our farm, feel free to reach out.
