Each pregnancy lasts for three months, three weeks, and three days. Sows will have an average of 2.5 litters every year for three or four years, most of which is spent in the crates. They give birth to between five and eight litters before being slaughtered.
lis pendens. (lease pen-dense) n. Latin for a suit pending, a written notice that a lawsuit has been filed which concerns the title to real property or some interest in that real property. The lis pendens (or notice of pending action) is filed with the clerk of the court, certified that it has been filed, and then recorded with the County Recorder.
Notice of Pendency When a court considers a lawsuit involving real property, the court may issue a notice of pendency as a provisional remedy. This notice is filed with the property's deed at the county registry. Once the notice is filed, even if the land is sold or transferred, it may still be used to satisfy judgments against the property owner in the lawsuit.
