Our first breeding stock was brought in southern NSW in early 2000, we were totally shocked as we were told by the breeder to catch which ever one we wanted. Bill and Allan had to run around a muddy pen and corner the 2 female piglets and try to grab them. They finally both walked out of the pen very happy with themselves after getting the 2 piglets. I wish I had a camera with me... they were covered in mud and were holding 2 squealing piglets.
You can't just put 2 animals together and hope for the best. We did make the mistake of purchasing a boar (male) from another breeder to bring in new blood lines, we were told that he was 4 years old so we thought that he was safe to use with out breeding sows, but he was really only 10 months old and not from the blood lines that we were told.
We don't only breed miniature pigs, we also study their genetics and their behaviour. All the information on this web-site is from our years of learning all aspects of miniature pigs.
When breeding animals there needs to be breeding records kept, have a breeding standard and program to follow. Breeding animals is not just a matter of putting 2 animals together or for the fun of it, breeding animals should only be for the improvement of that breed of animal. There is a copy of our standards that we follow at- Standards
Oz-Minipigs breeding stock is very selective: as we choose our mini-pigs for their temperament, type, size and their personality...We have never interbred any of our breeding stock and we keep our breeding records up to date at all times and we now have individual identification for all of our breeding stock and the miniature piglets that are sold as pets..
Our Breeding Stock are also our Family Pets: even though they are not de-sexed they do make great pets for us, because as breeders we have the privilege of having our breeding boars that can interact with our sows through secure fencing preventing the problems of hormonal changes in their behaviour. They come to their Names, sit for an ice block or a pat and lay down for a belly rub, we also keep miniature pigs in our house yard so we can continue to supply you up to date information about keeping miniature pigs as pets.
Our Mini-Pigs Graze on Grass all day...! They also have natural cracked grain for dinner and they have a treats of fruit and veggies. So they are very well fed, according to their size...
We also Encourage You to Visit our Farm: to see how small our miniature pigs are... we have miniature pigs from piglets to 8 years of age, so you can see the different generations of our breeding program. * You just need to phone - 02 65506441 and let us know when you would like to visit.
