Hi all,
With my wee Kune kune due any day now, and plans afoot for starting with pedigree breeding of rare breeds I got to thinking about pig clubs. I'm already a member of the Kune Kune club, but since they deal with the registration and stuff I haven't joined the BPA yet.
I'm hoping to get a few different breeds - large black, OSB, GOS and saddlebacks (I'm hoping I'll be able to keep all the sows together for company and just seperate them at farrowing time) and use visiting boars/AI to produce litters. This way I'd get 1 pure breed, pedigree litter and a few cross litters for selling on or raising to pork/bacon weight from each 'love in'
Does that sound reasonable and realistic ? Also, with regard to registering the births etc - is there any advantage to being a member of each individual breed club, as well as the BPA ?
Thanking you all in advance for your thoughts, Karen x
