Title: Kune Kune piglets
Post by: ukag0972 on December 31, 2009, 09:31:20 pm: I have a gorgeous litter of Kune Kune piglets for sale. They are only 4 weeks old and are growing by day. They are all birth notified and will be registered by the BKKPS.

There is both black and black/white spotted and both male and females. The boys will be castrated once I feel they are big enough so if you want a boar from Awakino/Te Whangi lines then be quick!

They are gorgeous!

But wish I hadn't looked, cause I REALLY want a couple. Was going to be getting some this year too - right up until we found out there's another baby on the way.
Just can't afford them AND a baby ! Though I suspect in the long run that the kunes would be considerably less hassle and at least they don't give you any cheek ;) :D :D :D

The difference Karen is you can sell the pigs! You might even make a profit

But one day..................................................(http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Happy/happy-131.gif)

There are still some piglets left for sale.

Post by: ukag0972 on January 10, 2010, 02:12:28 pm: I lost one wee piglet through the night. The vet went to castrate it and quickly noticed a wee hernia, which is apparently worse than a big one. They gave him an anesthetic and did the castration, but didnt stitch the hernia. Why not???

They did say that he may die! Doesn't make it any easier!!
Anyway, one other boy couldn't be castrated as they couldnt find his bits and the other one is now castrated and fine.

PIGS............Who'd have them???
