Y'all were 100% right!! 5 sweet piglets born 4 weeks ago ❤️. Mom did great!! They are so stinkin' cute ...Thanks again for all the input!!

I love it! I didn't grow up on a farm and "learn by doing" so the wisdom and insight from everyone's experience on here is valued and appreciated more than you know! I hope I can pay it forward to others on here one day as I keep learning! 👍🙂

Thank you all for the super helpful replies and info!

Wellllllll....Maybe GusGus heard me doubting him, lol...I just noticed Rosita's nipples are looking kinda bigger (?) And she's sitting/laying down a lot. I snapped a few pics for any of you who know what a newly pregnant sow looks like....whatcha think? Think she may be pregnant? If so any idea...

This is such great info. Thank you so much for taking the time to share. I have no idea how much they weight (enough to really hurt when they step on my foot, lol) but they both turned 1yo in April & May. Height they come up to my knees. Here are some pics for size/conformation reference. Their...

Thank you for your response! :)

They both look in good condition from what I see online with the charts - we've been hyper aware of their weight the whole time. But I have been checking her and haven't seen any signs of estrus (?) Like swollen vulva, discharge, etc...when I put weight on her back she does stand still (almost...

Thank you both for the info & suggestions to get help! I contacted the farmer who had initially helped us and they hadn't sold their house/ moved yet so they came back out and re-burned it for us no problem. He's been doing this over 16 years so he knew the drill and the scurs popped/flaked...

We have a purebred kunekune boar and guilt that we've raised together from piglets and they are now 1 yr old but we haven't seen any interest in breeding. I read where if they are raised together that they may take on a brother/sister or roommate relationship and not breed? Any experience with...

Hi, We had one of our Nigerian Dwarf buck triplets born with horns (the others were naturally polled). We had a goat farmer friend dis-bud him for us but it now looks like his horns are coming back in. We've never dis-budded before but we do have the farmers burn kit he sold us as they are...

Thank you for all the info "Alaskan". I think I will get my vet to check her over. Being so new at this point I think it will give me peace of mind! Thanks so SO much!!

This is great! Thank you all who replied! She's really fluffy so it's hard to tell but her spine and ribs are definitely prominent -I'd say she's around a 2 on the Body Condition Score. Her FAMCHA is between a d4/c3 so a friend said I may need to re-worm her again in 2-3 weeks? I know there are...

Hi! We have 2 Kunekune's that free range and wondering if they would be ok with just a couple of free range Nigerian dwarf goats? I know other pigs can be an issue with smaller goats but wondering if anyone could vouch for the Kunekune's mild temperament over the long haul? Mine cuddle with my...
