Most characteristic of the Kunekune is its short, upturned snout, making them suitable for grazing. They tend not to root and damage your lawn or pasture, with exception to taproot weeds. They love dandelions and will eventually rid your pasture of them. Their primary feed is grass in the summer/hay in the winter. These Medium sized, docile pigs are so easy to handle, perfect for the small hobby farmer, families with young children, homesteader or senior farmers looking to stay on the farm but finding larger livestock too intimidating. (Great for the grandkids!) They are very hardy and require minimal housing in the winter. Due to their docility, they have little desire to test fencing and roam which makes them a breed suitable for the first time pig owner. They have incredibly sweet temperaments. Kunekunes have a personality very different from “commercial” pigs and other breeds of swine. They are very social, friendly and very intelligent animals. They appreciate human contact, are affectionate, and will do anything for food and a good scratch. These pigs LOVE human company and will lay there as long as you are willing to scratch their belly. They make wonderful pets for the whole family. Kunekune pigs are a rare but very special and exciting heritage breed, originating in New Zealand.
