Sows, Duo Or Trio,

[Ste]

Not been on here for a long time, I'm looking for advice, I had a trio of sows but unfortunately I lost the dominant sow suddenly in June, since then the other 2 have not really bothered with each other, 1 took over as dominant but when the other goes near her she bottom wiggles and grumbles making the non dominant sow move away, my question is do I leave them alone or get a 3rd sow to create a trio again,

Thanks in advance,

It sounds like typical dominance behaviour to me. Nothing to worry about, you'll notice more of this behaviour at the time of their seasons. How old are they?

I am sorry you lost a piggy also.

Just over a year old, I've never seen any aggression just the now dominant 1 just doesn't seem to bother with the other 1, the non dominant 1 was close to the original dominant sow that died,

Thank you, it happened quite quickly an unexpected,
