Absolutely. This was certainly that. We even had some really great friends stop by who wanted to experience it and help if needed. We were very fortunate!
Congratulations, Stan! I'm sure you made a great birthing coach for Big Mamma. Glad you were able to be there and to experience the process. You're going to have fun watching them grow and become part of the homestead. Are you keeping any/all of them? Hope you have a great weekend...as always, stay safe!
It went as well as I could have hoped. We’re very fortunate. I will definitely keep back 3/4 but I’m undecided of what I’ll do with the 4th. Thank you and we hope you have a great weekend as well.
The placenta takes allot longer because it has to detach from the wall of the uterus completely before being passed. Just never pull it, uterine tears are a vet call. Wonderful birth story, I love your set up for farrowing.
It was a crazy situation. We used to have our female pig (Olivia) and Henry together in a large pen under a bunch of oak trees thinking it would provide them shade in the summer. Well I came home from work one day to find him dying. I determined a large limb fell out a tree and landed in him breaking his back. He died within minutes of me coming home. He was my daughters favorite pig so it was a sad day for our household. These piglets have been a huge blessing.
We do. The ones that will be raised for processing are given their first dose of vaccines as piglets and that’s all. The ones we keep as breeder or pet are vaccinated annually.
There’s different types you can use, I use Rhini Shield and order from here www.circlecsupply.com/elanco-rhini-shield-tx4-swine-vaccine-100ml.html . This is what was recommended by the first breeder I purchased mine from.
Congrats. Always good to have a solid family around ya. I can tell you have a great team around ya. 🤜🤛💯

Thanks for the info. The breeder told me there could be up to 4 pass. I never pulled one thankfully so that’s good to know for the future.
@@RockyCreekHomestead I have heard the same with goats! There can be one or one for each. I’ve only ever seen one even with multiples before.
Wait! I am new. What happened to Henry?

Since this is her first litter, the nesting behavior may not have manifested. Her next litter may have more nesting behavior.
She’s done great, despite not having too much nesting behaviors she’s been fantastic in caring for the piglets. So glad we got her.
Congratulations. Do you vaccinate you kunekune.
We do. The ones that will be raised for processing are given their first dose of vaccines as piglets and that’s all. The ones we keep as breeder or pet are vaccinated annually.
Can you tell me what is the vaccine and where do you get it.
