The Kunekune (pronounced cooneycooney) is a small breed of domestic pig from New Zealand.
They come in a wide variety of colors and are suitable for the novice pig owner
since they are extremely laid back, friendly, and love human company.
Average size for a full grown kunekune can be 100-300 pounds and around 24" tall.
Kunekune pigs are great for acreage owners, fattening on pasture grasses.
Ours are fed mostly alfalfa (winter) or pasture grass (summer) with a bit of
Purina Nature's Match Sow & Pig Feed to balance their diet.
We are members of both AKPR and AKKPS and can register piglets with both registries.
All of our pigs are now dual registered.

Ru (Trish) Boar "Cash"

Cash was bred by Virginia Kunekunes and we just love him. He has such beautiful, thick hair - just an absolutely gorgeous coat. He doesn't have wattles but bred with double wattled sows, he has produced all wattled piglets. He is very friendly and will follow us everywhere around the pasture.
Cash is AKKPS and AKPR registered and weighs around 250#.

and short snout. Doris is a sweetheart.

Whakanui (Tarutaru) Boar "Hedwig"
DOB: 3/31/18
Hedwig has recently joined our herd from Kunekune Preserve in NC. We are thrilled to be adding some new genetics to our herd - we loved the look of this little boar and after talking with Cyndi, we decided he should come and live in Iowa. Hedwig has some Tapeka in his pedigree! He made the journey in early July and is settling in nicely.
Look at his gorgeous topline!

Trish (Boris) Gilt "Ginny"
DOB: 4/17/18
Ginny has recently joined our herd from Hilly Haven farm in WI. She is a little shy but warming up to us. She likes to stick by her farm-mate Hagrid but she'll do anything for a little food! We love her nice short snout and great feet - not to mention ginger/black is one of our favorite colors.
We can't wait to see how she grows.

Hagrid has recently joined our herd from Hilly Haven farm in WI. He lacks wattles but is a stunning piglet in every other aspect. His white eyelashes against his black face are just adorable. He has great feet, nice top line, and a short snout. He quickly became my new favorite, he is so sweet.
