I have 2 sows. The mother, Butterscotch, and the child, Susan. Since Susan was weaned at maybe 4-5 weeks, she became clearly dominant over Butterscotch. She is quite a govone, and she eats a lot, and a lot faster. She is basically always eating the hay or the pellets, and if butterscotch is eating veggies, she finishes her piece and runs over and steals butterscotch’s. I know it’s normal bossy behavior and Susan is an adult now (almost 2), but she is so wide. butterscotch is bigger than her, as in longer, but Susan weighs a lot more. (Susan is a definitely a runt, she is very small, I often call her half a guinea pig lol). I’m not sure if it’s a problem, I mean they don’t really argue besides Susan asserting her dominance. I wouldn’t say butterscotch is necessarily underweight, but compared to a pig 2/3 her size, she’s lighter.
useless background- their names are SO different because butterscotch’s name matches her original paired sow before we realized she was pregnant
