A farrowing shed - Sows are moved to farrowing crates a week before they give birth then confined for up to six weeks while they nurse their piglets. Farrowing crates allow enough room for a sow to stand up, lie down and take one or two small steps forward and backwards, without turning around. - Captured at EcoPiggery, Leitchville VIC Australia.
