About this item

A Sow is an adult female swine that has given birth to at least one litter. This term distinguishes her from a Gilt, which is a younger female, and a pig, which is a very young swine, either male or female. All domestic pigs descend from wild boars. History: Swine were domesticated from wild boars in Asia around 10,000 years ago. Led by nomads and warriors alike, the pigs spread throughout Asia and Europe. Wild boars aren’t native to North America, and the first pigs brought to the continent were domesticated herds carried by the Spaniards.
