Do sows squirt each other?

[scozy]

Hello,

since January my two girl piggies are living in a same cage, but they have not sorted out who is the dominant one yet. They are chasing each other, rumbling, fluffing up their neck hair, shaking butt right and left by lifting up each back leg, charging, shoving into the other's face, etc., but no blood has been drown.

Today I saw one sow squirt into the other's face, twice. Is this okay thing to happen between sows? Will they get the hierarchy sorted eventually?

Thank you,

Yes it's completely normal. It gets worse every once in a while when they're in season.

I saw it once and figured it meant "Bugger off and don't smell my bum!"
