Introducing more farm friends! This little herd of Kunekune sisters rode up with Ice Cream Man last week from our friends at Foggy Fork Farm. Never thought we’d have a herd of piggies but we do and they are so fun!
Kunekune are much more my style of homestead animal, being more social and friendly. While this breed takes 12-24 months to reach ideal butchering weight, they are not food aggressive like fast growing the Duroc/York pigs that we used to clear a large garden plot two years ago. Those pigs ate 24/7 and had that classic pig stench. The Kunekune really don’t have that odor and I was told if they do stink, I’m overfeeding them.
These girls enjoy a small scoop of mini pig feed and hay along with goat milk, goat cheese, eggs, pumpkins and scraps from the kitchen each day. We don’t want them getting fat since they are slower growing.
Keep those pumpkins and gourds coming! The piggies LOVE them. We have a Pumpkin Drop spot at the entrance to our driveway. The piggies say thanks!! 🐽
