- In this video we move our Kunekune sows and their piglets out of the barn into their winter pen. We also vaccinate the piglets. Kunekune piglets are the easiest pigs to manage on a small farm and they are super cute!

About Sweet Briar Farm
We are a small farm located in Central/Northern Michigan. We farm every inch of our 6 acres. We breed Registered Dairy Goats, Dexter Cattle, and Heritage Hogs. Clean healthy food is important to us and we like to produce the majority of our food on the farm and we grow and raise enough to sell to local customers. Producing our own food also means we forage for wild edibles such as mushrooms and tap our maple trees in the spring to make maple syrup. In 2019 we added honeybees to the farm and have had as many as 30 active hives producing honey for us.
Our goats include Nubian goats, Mini Nubians, Fainting Goats, and Nigerian Dwarf goats.
Our Heritage Hogs include: registered Berkshires, Tamworth, Registered Kune Kune, and Hereford.

Aww, so cute watching those little babies follow their Mom AND the music you had with that was perfect!! Made me smile! 😁
They are the best little piggies!
Piglets are so cute!😍 The funny scenes trying to catch the piglets😂❤️
I know you like us chasing piglets 😂 these are a lot easier to catch. Little chunks
It is hilarious how easy they can be to move around the property. As long as you move them in a herd and when they are hungry, they will follow a feed bucket anywhere. I've walked them nearly a 1/2 mile down the road to my in-law's barn before.
However, I learned the hard way, do not try moving just one pig. It doesn't work as well as moving them all together!
We just finished shuffling our Berkshires again. They move easy as long as they don’t think there is Hotwire. We keep saying we will probably exclusively raise Kunekune one of these days and get rid of the big pigs!
Good morning everyone. Have a beautiful day.
You too Tonya!
I’m surprised that with all that squealing from the babies the moms aren’t getting mad at you guys. How interesting.
One of the reasons why they are the best. They are very smart and trusting pigs.
❤️
I enjoy your videos so very much. Sure glad I found your channel.
Thanks Joyce!
Hello my husband and I are getting ready to start our home stead,. I was wondering if you guys would be open to communicating through phone or email please let me know that would be really wonderful lots of questions about these types of pigs
Send us an email sweetbriarfarmllc@gmail.com
I’m new to this. Bear with me lol… why do the males need to be castrated if they’re sold for meat? Is it optional to do so? We’re getting pigs at the end of this coming summer
Keeping them intact you risk off flavor called boar taint. Supposedly, boar taint isn’t very common with Kunekune. Also, with the Kunekune we didn’t want to let any breedable animal leave the farm without being registered.
If you are getting large breed feeder pigs for meat then definitely get barrows (castrated males) or females. I like to keep barrows they grow a little faster than females.
We’re getting kunekunes 3 breeding females and 2 boys. Great thanks so much!
@@DestinationDalmatian just make sure to separate the boys and girls at around 5 months old. They can form a brother/sister type relationship and they won’t breed.
We kept 2 Kunekune boars together and were never aggressive to each other.
We’re setting up 3 different pens. Boys will be separated from girls the moment we get them home. They’ll have free roam (separately) through out the day on 1 1/2 acres ones they learn to respect the fence. Do you have an IG??
@@DestinationDalmatian I am drawing a blank what do you mean IG?
