[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 274411, member: 1974"] My dad raised hogs for many years. I remember one gilt who broke her front leg. She hobbled along just fine except she couldn't fight for food with others so she got fed separately. At this point I don't remember if she broke her leg before she was bred, or after. What I do remember is she was a fine brood sow for a number of litters. Her broken front leg never healed like new, it was always curled up a bit. But she never acted like it hurt. I'd say watch her, she still could be a brood sow but I wouldn't put her in a crate. And she'll most likely be fine to butcher whenever you get her in. [/QUOTE]
