Managing boars is often straightforward because of their docile temperaments. I've found that my boars are typically even more easygoing than the females! While we were breeding, we maintained nine boars. I always kept a neutered barrow with them for companionship. How many boars do you keep?

Are KuneKunes the perfect grazing pig?
KuneKune pigs are indeed the perfect grazing pigs for several compelling reasons that we will explore in this article. Discover the many reasons why KuneKune pigs are the ideal choice for grazing in pastures. This article will explore the unique qualities that make them the perfect pasture pigs.

Grazing Ability
KuneKune pigs are known for their natural grazing habits, preferring to feed on a variety of vegetation such as grass and herbs. Their diet mainly consists of forage, which they efficiently convert into meat, making them a sustainable choice for farming. Unlike other pig breeds, KuneKunes exhibit a unique fondness for grazing due to their short, upturned snouts that are well-suited for exploring grassy meadows. Their ability to thrive on well-maintained grass alone showcases their eco-friendly nature and efficiency in converting forage into sustenance. By primarily relying on grazing, KuneKune pigs can help reduce the costs associated with purchasing expensive grain or feed.

KuneKune pigs are true connoisseurs of the pasture. Their innate grazing instincts lead them to seek out a diverse menu of vegetation. From tender grass blades to aromatic herbs, they relish the bounty that nature provides. Unlike some other pig breeds, KuneKunes don’t merely tolerate grazing; they revel in it. Unlike other breeds of swine, they are not prone to rooting. They don't want to destroy the pasture, they want to graze it!
