Hi There,
I have not bred from my Kunes .... yet. But I have had several litters from my Tamworths and GOS's.
Please don't worry. Pigs do tend to look after themselves, normally. You know your pigs. If YOU think they are uncomfortable or stressed, they probably are. Keep a close eye , and if you think they need a helping hand and don't feel confident, call your vet.
There is no better feeling than seeing your 1st litter of pigleys emerging before your eyes!!
Good luck!!









Good luck!!

hi all i am finding this really hard to write as doing so the tears are following over the last few weeks i had noticed betty temperment changing and being really cross with me i put it down to coming to the end of her pregnancy and being late i called the vet who went to examine her she went to bit him i called a memeber of the society who kindly came round she tried to have a look at betty who then tried to bite her and charge at us she wasnt pregnant i looked at maybe rehoming her what if she bit them i made the very hard decesion to have her put down. this was not in my dreams i cared and loved betty x

did betty have a friend/companion, we keep our two sows together, right through the pregnancy and farrowing, they do have their little mishaps usually regarding food, but they share each others piglets when feeding, maybe a rest break with company may help,pigs dont really have that many ways to show their emotions... maybe she is troubled
