Hello, sorry to hear about your kune. it is definitely best to introduce another kune. other animals are not really suitable companions and difficulties will arise with different diets etc. is your pig 6 months old or 1or 2 years old? i wasn't sure what you meant. if 6 months, introducing another of...

The piglets should be sharing hard feed with their mother by 10 - 14 days. A big litter like this can be weaned at 6 weeks as they will really take their toll on the sow, but I wouldn't wean any earlier

Boasley Sally, in pig to Kinecroft Te Whangi. 'Cilla' is 6 years old but still a productive sow who nurses well. She is for sale as i am cutting down on my breeding stock. She has regularly produced litters since i have had her (4 years) and produces nice offspring in a variety of colours. I have sh...

crikey! that was quick - was it giving him a lot of trouble?

this is probably compacted food in the cheek due to a dental abnormality. it is treatable. i have seen several and some have been lanced, some left and some just drained. leaving is the preferable treatment but it will need a good clean out by the vet first. There was an article on this in a past ne...

if you get desperate i have a type 2 licence and i do transport but i'm in herefordshire
