ABOUT THE BREED

The Kunekune is a small heritage breed of swine traced back to the Maori natives of New Zealand.  The origin of the breed prior to this is not known although believed to have Asian roots.

CARE

Kunekune are "grazing pigs", extremely efficient with the ability to fatten on good pasture and low feed input.

HEALTH

One of the most important steps a farm can take in providing a healthy environment for their livestock is to have a biosecurity plan in action.

REPRODUCTION
