I think I found your problem, you stick a fish on land of course its gonna be ugly. What youve got there is finless Sunfish,was your "pig" floating in the ocean when you got it and had you just ran over it in your boat?

Sunfish freak me out, so that prob explains why this pig is so horrible to look at to me. She only had one more (also a girl) and has passed both placentas so she's all done. Small litter was prob partially due to being a first timer, partially due to being a PB, and mostly due to being fat as gently caress.     She's fat bc she's a lazy piece of poo poo and never leaves the barn if she can help it, so the other pigs need like 3x as much food as she does because they're so active and reducing the overall amount of food just results in the others losing too much weight because they'd rather run around than stand there and eat and be useless like her. I'm not doing ~individually portioned piggy mealtimes~ because they're not my fur angel pets so she's gonna go on a diet after these are weaned and before I put her back with the others and if she legit just *can not* be anything but a landwhale without a ton of babying and special care then I'll just have to eat her. Sry pig, u were a practice pig anyway.

Super, how are the baby pigs doing? Mama Pig doing alright after giving birth? Oh, how are your goats doing? Does the Papa Pig have anything to do with the young ones or is it all up to Mama Pig and Human?

Have you/the dogs eaten the pigs yet or are you going to sell them? Is suckling pig worth more per pound than mature pork?

I've got to admit I was expecting a lot more piglets.

I'm sure that's the case after the first litter, but as Supercondescending explained above, it's her first litter so it's going to be small.

Ya first litters are small, and also PBs are useless bullshit pigs and usually have smaller litters than full size pigs. I was expecting 3 or 4 for her first litter, but because she's a whale 2 is no biggie. I don't care, these are practice pigs and I just want to farrow a few litters before I drop $$ on real pigs so I don't screw up with more expensive pigs. Smaller litters = less to deal with for now so w/e. piscesbobbie posted:Super, how are the baby pigs doing? Mama Pig doing alright after giving birth? Oh, how are your goats doing? Nah the father doesn't have anything to do with them. The mother is separated for farrowing because the other females will fight her for the babies, the boar will breed her again *instantly* once she has farrowed, and it just creates a bunch of bullshit so they have their babies by themselves and then you reintroduce the mother and introduce the babies back to the others in a few weeks. Boars are usually pretty tolerant of babies but they don't really directly care for them. The goats are good. The pigs are good. Avshalom posted:Have you/the dogs eaten the pigs yet or are you going to sell them? Is suckling pig worth more per pound than mature pork? Being tiny, useless pot bellied pigs, the piglets are way too small to eat. Even suckling pigs are a few months old, newborns are tiny.  I wouldn't say suckling pig is worth more. The average slaughter size for pigs is about 250ish lbs, which (depending on breed) they reach at about 6 months or so of age. Suckling pigs are usually about 30-60 lb weaners. They are usually sold per pound, so you would get more for the bigger pig obvs, but you've also put more into feeding that pig to get it to market weight soooo. Most people are horrified at eating pot bellied pigs, but there is also no real pet market for them, because they make lovely pets. We will prooobably just eat these ourselves when they're around 6ish months old. I'm looking at breeders right now to get a registered pair of kunekune in the spring. I'll sell registered piglets from that pair to people who are super into kunekunes in order to fund everything else, then cross the boar to mid-size heritage meat breeds for actual meat animals.
