The above people all have or had kunekunes.

I had them... but just as feeder pigs (and was not impressed)....

They were sweet and easy to work with, way easier to handle than "standard" pigs. So I think that they would be easier than "standard" pigs throughout the farrowing ... but really no idea. :idunno

I still don't technically have kunekune, as mine wound up a cross, but when I farrowed my guinea hog sow I wish I would have known to keep them separate in their own space and to consider an enclosure with pig rails. Feed them well on good pig food especially at the end. They go into sort of a farrowing trance when they go into labor and they can be pushed around by other pigs and crush piglets so keep an eye on them.
