Have three 10 week old KuneKune piglets and was curious on what vaccines they actually need.
Thanks

Normally 1wk, then 4wks, then 12 weeks old, then 6months old.
How long do you plan on keeping this pigs are you just going to fatten them up and then turn them into dinner? Do you plan on keeping them as pets where they come into the living room?

Alot of folks don't vaccine their pigs/chicken/ducks.

Iterations are fine, we don't have to be perfect

We are keeping two of them for breeding
, castorating the third Male, but keeping for the boar when the sow is pregnant for companionship (was told to do this) not sure if we really need to though. Then we're going to sale and eat the offspring.
