If you can't send a farmhand / family member out to check, you might be bigger than your means and need to hire.
Two weeks without checking on any livestock is not really that great, no matter how you try to slice it.
It may be true that 1000 pigs isn't many in the grand scale, but at the grand scale similar occurrences are happening and therefore it is one part of it.
Yeah, typically any loss is a chunk of cash out of the operation. Most farmers check daily, move animals around and if breeding season, they have cams on em to make sure they birth ok then have to move them to separate pens, each death is a loss in profit if too many then you would go under. It must cost a ton for feed and shots and whatever else needed for a sheet ton of livestock. oO
