Yum Yum Has Six Babies :)

November in Te Mawhai...

 Yum Yum, our Kunekune Princess has finally had her piglets and like the other mama's...she had them during the night.

 Here are all six piglets having brunch today :) Yum Yum was our first sow but the last to have babies.  We are very proud of her and they don't look like Kunekune pigs...they look like their daddy, Boss, our handsome bushpig.

 My nephew Treo and my daughter Kassa holding two of Yum Yum's babies.  What an awesome day :)

 Our fale poaka has been blessed again with six beautiful little piglets.  

Mauri ora!

Our ever growing pig whānau

November in Te Mawhai...

...piglets outside ALL day...

 Taken this morning...you can see Boss (bush pig daddy) standing up in about the middle...he'd be taller than me and I'm 5ft 11inches...and there's Christmas poking her head out on the left...

 Yum Yum in the foreground...she is due to give birth tomorrow and by the size of her titties...we're forecasting around 7 to 8 babies :)

 Two of the older boys from Little Pig's first litter of three...one has moved to my brother's place :)

 Some of the little piglets mingling with their big brothers and Yum Yum...

 All eleven piglets :)

 All eleven piglets their mama :)

 Yum Yum ready to have babies herself :)

Will report back when Yum Yum has her babies!

 

 

Christmas has her babies

November in Te Mawhai...

This was a double rainbow on 12.11.2012 taken on Te Mawhai Road looking East.

 ...and again from the back of my section looking East again on 12.11.2012...

 This was taken during the Solar Eclipse on 14.11.2012 of our fale poaka and it was quite dark...

 My attempt at taking a photo of the eclipse...there were too many clouds...

 ...so I took a photo of our Kunekune Princess Yum Yum who is heavily pregnant...

 ...then we were blessed with the arrival of 11 little piglets...Christmas is the new mummy...

 ...and is Christmas...the new mummy having a well deserved breakfast after giving birth to eleven piglets...

 ...Christmas and her babies all huddling in the background...

 ...and the new little babies again...one thing that amazes me is the fact that the babies are up and running around to fast.  We attribute this to the father being a wild boar :)

 

We are extremely grateful and feel blessed for our new arrivals and are proud of Christmas because she is a beautiful Mum.
