I have raised pigs before but not Kunekunes and not through the winter. As the temperatures drop, how much feed should these year old pigs receive? Let's assume they will not be out on pasture.

I figure if someone from the future hasn’t tried to stop me, I can’t be messing up that bad.

even though i do not have a particular answer.

Some things i look at on my pigs is the amount of flab hanging around their neck. If it is tight to there neck. increase the amount of food by a bit. If it has 3 rolls, well ease up a bit.
Another thing i listen for is there grunts. is it just general " hey there you are let me grunt at you" or is it" please i am squealing give me some food" maybe increase it by a bit.

the real reason for my post was to ask for some photos of the pigs..... Please please long squeal please grunt grunt

It is a privilege to live, work and play in the traditional territory of the Salish People.
