The KuneKune Pigs

KuneKune pigs came on our radar when we were decided that having cattle on our little farm would likely never happen due to their size and demand on the pasture. In search of another farm critter that would work with the dairy goats we have had for years, this smallish breed of pig seemed a natural. KuneKune are known for being docile, not particularly keen on testing fencing and not as prone to rooting as many other breeds. Their smaller size is more suitable for a small family, and their meat is deep red and reminiscent of beef more than pork. Their meat to fat ratio makes them ideal for sausage and charcuterie, and the lard makes wonderful soap!
