Our Kunekune Pigs
Kunekunes are smart, sweet-tempered and perfect for any small or large homestead. They originate from New Zealand and average up to 100-300 pounds depending on if male or female as well as age. They are wonderful as they are grazing pigs that help get rid of unwanted weeds or brush as well as unwanted fruits and vegetables from the gardens. Kunekunes have meat that is marbled as well as a deeper red color. Very nutritious! Their fat is very suitable to use in making homemade soaps. As grazing pigs, they produce rich fertilizer for the gardens. These pigs are very utilitarian!
