Available KuneKune piglets

we love babies!

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.

homestead meat/PET quality (unreg) –350–
homestead breeding quality (AKKPS) –650–
top breeding quality (AKKPS) –850–

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.

    SUMMER 2024 litters 

    CURRENTLY AVAILABLE:

    BIANCA X PUNCH 2024

     

    Bianca is our “eye candy” sow – she is gorgeous and very much the original short and heavy Kunekune style. Punch is a strong, wide, and moderate boar who has really impressed us with his first litters. Handled daily, sweet and affectionate already. Low COI.

    CURRENTLY AVAILABLE:

    LYDIA X PUNCH 2024

     

    Lydia is our most extreme, NZ-style sow – short, round, and very typey. Punch contributes his rock-solid topline and width of nostril, as well as perfect feet and legs. We are very excited about this litter. Six healthy piglets were born . Two boys and one girl available for breeding homes. Low COI. 

    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. 

    Upcoming Breedings for 2024-2025

    Litters due in summer and very exciting stuff planned for 2025

    Punch

    Our 2024 herd sire is Punch (Mahia Love, AKKPS 22539), a gorgeous black and white unwattled boy we picked out as a newborn when we saw his width on the move and his long shoulder and hams. We hoped he'd grow into that promise, and he sure has. He has beautiful feet and legs, stout bone, a lovely face, and a sweet temperament. Punch is a very moderate pig, built well from the ground up, with nothing out of place.

    Miko/Punch (summer 2024)

    We love Miko (Rebecca Gina). She's got an outstanding temperament, she's long, she has a beautiful face with pretty wattle placement, and she has a sound bite and good teeth. Punch should add size without wrecking Miko's lovely breed character. Double wattled, brown and white.

    Yuna/Punch (summer 2024)

    Yuna (Rona) is incredibly impressive; she's one of the largest gilts we've ever seen (at 15 months she taped at 290 lb) and she has a tremendous amount of length and muscling and a hard topline. Punch will add width, and should keep her size and strength. Double wattled, ginger and black.

    Fang/?? (spring 2025)

    Her real name is Faith (Rebecca Gina, AKKPS 14023), but someone jokingly called this sweet, quiet sow Fang and it stuck! She's a black with four white feet and holds her beautiful topline and muscling even through nursing six healthy piglets. We love her ear size and placement, her overall stretchiness, and her free and sound movement. Doubled wattled, black and white.

    Lydia/?? (spring 2025)

    Lydia (Awakino, AKKPS 26047) is a ginger and white belted gilt and the newest member of the crew. She's Bianca's half-sister, and you can really tell; they have the same extreme type and wiggly, silly personalities. Double wattled, ginger and white.
