What is a female pig called?

A female pig is commonly referred to as a sow. Sows are known for their maternal instincts and can give birth to multiple piglets in a single litter. Sows are typically raised for breeding purposes to produce piglets for meat production. They are known for their intelligence and social nature, often forming strong bonds with their piglets and other members of their herd. Sows can weigh anywhere from 400 to 700 pounds and are typically larger than boars, the male counterpart of pigs.
