Kunekune Pig Farrowing, the day before and after: www.RaisingKuneKunes.com

These are some signs to look for when farrowing is very near. Also some indicators that the sow will be a good momma.

first time viewer here; VERY well done demo video.
Looks like you helped this sow by cleaning her up a little after she farrowed.
She is certainly aware of her piglets and helps them reach the 'milk bar' by rolling
way over on her side.
The family looks happy and healthy.
Thank you.

How do you prevent the piglets being squashed?

[@kunekunepigs4461]

There are several precautions you can take, from using crush rails, and also pine straw instead of hay (or no bedding at all), and even selective breeding based on mothering skills like being careful around her piglets...but ultimately, you'll likely never be totally without the occasional occurrence of a crushed piglet. The most realistic goal would be to have minimal occurrence, especially the larger your herd, and more often youre having farrowings.
