little blue, yes true, I assumed it was a traditional breed as thats what I have, I tend to think everyone on here keeps traditional breeds rather than commercial

...just wanted to make the point!
our kune kunes were well old before they were ready - hoping for piggylets in October!

My girls are saddlebacks so a traditional breed. I think around December to get in pig will be right for them they're quite big girls but not quite full grown so 1st birthday in pig march farrow after the worst of the winter I think. They show no sign of having been in heat yet based on comments here so some maturing to do yet.

The BPA will not allow birth notification of litters born before the gilt is 1 year old. (I believe)

I think they with birth notify them Hilarysmum, but you can't register any of the litter.

I'm not sure though, so anyone is relying on any being registered it would be worthwhile checking with BPA beforehand.
