We started our journey with kunekune pigs in 2014 and have learned a lot! Our family's goal in raising these beautiful pigs is correct conformation, friendly personality, and keeping the kunekune as the pasture pig that came over from New Zealand. We absolutely love that they come in different sizes and colors.
Champion KKP Whakanui 16 - Hedwig
Boar

Hedwig 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. Look at his gorgeous topline!
