We typically have five to six litters per year; most piglets are reserved before they’re born, but we occasionally have some available kiddos who will be posted here. Every piglet is socialized, affectionate, non-reactive to touch and handling, and has been fully vaccinated and given preventive care appropriate to its age. Our piglets are given iron as newborns.

Meat/pet quality means a pig with some faults, but nothing that would prevent the pig from being a perfect homestead animal. Homestead breeding quality means that the pig may have show faults, but will not have breeding faults – teat line will be functional, size and soundness will be correct. Top breeding quality means a piglet that, in our judgment, is the best or among the best in the litter, both in terms of show potential and breeding potential.
LOOK FOR UPDATES ONCE LITTERS ARE HERE SAFELY.
OUR PRE-BIRTH WAITING LIST IS CURRENTLY FULL, BUT WE’LL HAVE AVAILABLE PIGLETS ONCE WE KNOW WHAT WE’VE GOT.
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.
