Sows are great mothers. There are usually eight to twelve baby pigs to a litter. Sometimes a mother sow may accidentally lie down on one of her pigs. To help prevent this the farmer uses a special stall, called a farrowing crate, that provides a place beside the sow for the baby pigs to go when the mother is getting up and lying down.
