we love babies!
Our does give birth once a year in the early spring, five months after the fall breeding season.
Kids are sold once they are solidly on the bottle and are healthy and thriving, typically 3-4 weeks old. We administer supplemental selenium, probiotics, and vaccines as appropriate for their age.
When you bring your baby home, you should plan on feeding him or her two to three quarts of milk a day until weaning. If you do not have a milking doe or feel more comfortable with us raising the kid(s) until weaning, we charge $200/month for full care, including all veterinary needs, and wean at 12 weeks.
We offer ground transport within 150 miles of seacoast New Hampshire, and are experienced air shippers for buyers from farther away.
Our babies are socialized, affectionate, and love people.

All wethers (castrated males) and pet females are sold at a small premium to that week’s USDA market price, so will vary but is generally in the $2xx-$3xx range at four to eight weeks.
Homestead breeding quality is where most of our doelings land; they’ll be beautiful, efficient, productive milkers for your household. Plenty of our homestead quality doelings go on to be show-quality and/or top producers, and all of them are healthy, growthy, and loving.
Top breeding quality means a kid that, in our judgment, is likely to match or exceed her mother’s quality in style, conformation, and production.
WE DO NOT SELL UNCASTRATED BUCKS OR BUCKLINGS;

What's with the wattles?
Many Kune Kune pigs have wattles, which are small dangling bits of skin and cartilage found anywhere on the lower part of the face.
Wattles are common in all sort of animals, from goats and sheep to pigs and even humans. Wattles are the result of a mutation in the gene that controls limb growth – basically, they’re extra legs, but their growth is almost totally regressed and so what’s left is just a little sliver of cartilage and some soft skin. (We know, super cool, right?!)
A Kunekune without wattles is just as much a KuneKune as one with them – there’s no “purity” or purebredness that goes along with wattles. They’re just a fun feature of some pigs, and they’re so cute that many people prefer them. We love both flavors – wattles and smooth – and you’ll find a mix of them in our pigs and our Kune Kune piglets.
