IT'S TIME TO MAKE SOME KUNEKUNE PIGLETS!

I've been waiting for the right time to get my kunekune boar and gilt together. I finally did it! And if I'm interpreting it correctly, piglets are coming in about 4 months!! It was an effort, but not too difficult, moving the pigs to different pens to make breeding happen. There was a little display of territorial alpha, but it was quick. I will show you how I moved them and even mention how the shape of a boar's 'tool' is a bit unique! My young doe is in heat and calling for the bucks constantly.
Every day my family and I are learning what it means to run a hobby farm. We started with chickens then added myotonic (fainting) goats, and eventually kunekune (kune kune) pigs. Throw in some Guinea fowl and cats and dogs with a creek and tons of wildlife and you start to get an idea of what our hobby farm is like. Hobby farming is time consuming and hard, but rewarding and fulfilling. There are daily chores that never stop. The animals need to be fed and watered. Pastures and pens need to be fenced and built. Goats and pigs need to be rotated in their pastures to give them fresh food and to rejuvenate the land. Food is planted and grown for the animals. Medicines are given orally and injected to prevent and cure sickness and combat parasites. Hooves need to be trimmed. Babies need to be raised. At any given time we have gilts, sows, boars, piglets, bucks, does, kids, chicks, chickens, keets, guineas, etc. that need our attention, love and care. Follow along and we’ll learn and grow on this adventure together!

Lol! Martin Mull!! She really is huge. I think she got a little fat. After the stress of birth and nursing her piggies she lost a lot of weight. She is still a big pig, but a lot thinner.
