Anyone tried cross breeding Kunekune and Berkshire? Are they able to do the deed naturally or do they need assistance?
We are needing a new boar and we'd like to get into Kunekunes. Our Berk girls are really good sows, so we don't really want to get rid of them quite yet.
New pig owners/breeders here. Any tips on how to tell if your pig is pregnant? We have 2 Berkshire gilts in with a boar, we think they are pregnant but we're not sure.
I recently purchased two kunekune boar piglets. They are feeding and growing well, and are about 4 months old now. My sows (all over 1yr of age) are kept separate, but when they are in heat, they go “checkout” the boars‘s area, and will lie down next to their pen. Occasionally, I’ll see some...
Does anyone know how to tell the difference between a farm piglet and a mini piglet? I would like to get a mini but i don't want to fall into any scams. Also do pigs get a lot of sicknesses?
thanks!
