Approved submission
I love my KuneKune pigs.  I bought Petunia last April and she Farrowed on April 15th, 2023.  She gave birth to 6 healthy babies and is an excellent mother.  The kids have named two of them  milkshake and bacon bit.  I won't let them name the rest unless it's breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Congratulations.  Your sow is beautiful.  It is so exciting having piglets.  There is just nothing cuter than baby piglets.  
 
There were millions of the little blood suckers. But thanks to this tiny ad, I wasn't bitten once.
