A barrow is a castrated male pig. Barrows serve a very important purpose in your herd. Kunekunes are very social and intelligent animals, they are a herd animal and they need companionship.

Pigs and dogs “speak different languages”. What one sees as playing, the other can interpret as aggression and an innocent interaction and go badly in seconds. Pigs should not be left unsupervised with dogs.

Pigs and goats can get along but it’s not really a companion. I’ve always compared that to a stay at home mom with a toddler. She might not be alone, but it isn’t good if that’s her only interaction.

Kunekunes are happiest with at least one pen pal. A bored, lonely pig can get into trouble rooting excessively, testing fence, and develop bad behaviors.

Barrows are perfect because they don’t have pesky hormones to make them crazy and they can be housed harmoniously with sows or boars. So whether your barrow is a permanent pen pal, or a grow out, they serve a great purpose in your herd.

If you need a companion or meat grow out, give us a shout. We have a couple of older barrows (50+ lbs) available. We also have breeding boars, sows, and gilt available.

This farm makes a good point here- you HAVE to have a plan for culls if you have a breeding program in any way, shape or form🐷❤️

We’ve got another roaster pig on the smoker for dinner this evening! You can harvest your pigs at any age! You do not need to wait until they are 200 # to harvest.

This piglet was herniated and I decided that it wasn’t worth the cost/time of having it fixed at the vet. He was about 12 weeks old.

If you are breeding livestock with the intention of only selling the best of your stock, you will need a plan for your culls or excess.

Roaster size pigs are so quick and easy to dress.They don’t require any special equipment or expertise. You don’t even need a smoker technically, you could slow cook in the oven.

Yes our pigs are adorable! But that’s not the reason we decided to raise them. We wanted to be able to provide nutrient dense, sustainable meat for our family, that will nourish our bodies!
The pork is absolutely delicious and mouth watering!
