Farrows

/ˈfæɹoʊz/ noun

Definition

Plural of farrow; multiple litters of piglets born to mother pigs, or multiple acts of giving birth.

Etymology

Regular plural of 'farrow' from Old English origins. Can function as both a noun (baby pigs) and verb (to give birth).

Kelly Says

A single pig can produce 20+ piglets across multiple farrows in her lifetime—that's how efficiently humans domesticated pigs for food production, something that would have amazed ancient farmers.
