After six weeks the pigs will eat
fairly well and many then wcan them.
This is really too soon They should
stay with their mothers till they are
at least eight weeks old. II is very
seldom that some are not weaker than
others, and it Is a good plan 10 remove

ones suck a few weeks longer This
will make the whole lot more even.
