In about six months if half this litter are gilts, they will be pregnant, and just under 4 months later will give birth.
Rearing domestically, we reckoned 20+ piglets a year per sow.
Easy to see why feral pigs are the major problem they are.
Shoot on sight.

Just read an article on Nat Geo about all the diseases these pigs carry; some pretty nasty stuff.
