KuneKune piglets have arrived!

[Diamond Wire Farms]

We are excited to announce the arrival of Hazel's first litter! Four adorable KuneKune piglets arrived yesterday morning.
They are out of our Jenny (Te Whangi) sow. Sired by our apple-head Andrew boar Piazzi.
Two ginger/black boars and two black/white females. All with short noses and double wattles.

There are still piglets available from this litter. Pm me for more information.

Adorable! I love kunekunes. I have a pig book that I've been reading that is making me want a few. May I ask why do you raise them?
They are a lovely mix of colors!

I raise KuneKunes because I wanted a reasonable sized pig that was easier on fences and the land than many of the other varieties.
We have grass in spades and I wanted a breed that could capitalize on that. Currently KuneKunes are a little pricey to be relied upon for pork production,
but they certainly have potential as an excellent meat breed. When/if their numbers increase in the US to the point where breeding stock prices are significantly lower, I will be left with a small, sturdy, meat breed that is easy on pasture and the eyes.

Thank you! It is a lovely breed. How many gilts/boars do you have?
