The story behind Gracie.

Gracie is registered as HLDFM Kereopa 11, and her records already give me more to talk about than a single pairing. The older AKKPS notifications document litters in earlier seasons, and the current BF Farm litter records add another. That makes Gracie one of the sows whose breeding history already reads like a small timeline rather than a single event. It will be especially interesting to keep adding to her profile as I connect those records with the qualities I have seen in the piglets themselves.

A family tree with real pigs behind the names.

The recorded pedigree currently available at BF Farm traces through sire BCF Tutanekai 6 and dam BCF Kereopa 3. I keep these relationships visible because a pedigree is more useful when I can connect the names on paper to animals and generations I have actually managed.

What the current BF Farm records document.

The records currently loaded for Gracie document 3 litters, with 3 tied to an AKKPS litter-notification ID and 15 piglets recorded across those litters (8 recorded born alive in the BF Farm litter records that include that detail). The count includes 2 older AKKPS notifications from the historical sample currently added to the herd archive. I treat this as a documented minimum, not a lifetime total, until the older litter-notification archive is complete.

These counts combine current BF Farm litter records with the historical AKKPS notifications added to this herd archive so far. They are a documented minimum, not a lifetime total, until the older notification history is complete.

Current BF Farm litter records and older AKKPS notifications are shown separately so the archive stays transparent about what is known.
