KUNEKUNE Meaters and Breeders
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 січ 2021
- We have decided to separate our breeding kunekune pigs from our kunekune meat herd. We want to be able to keep better track of how much money it is costing us to get the pigs to butcher size. Also, the younger pigs have been rooting like crazy and we are taking that problem and turning into a future pumpkin patch!

How clever to use their rooting to provide you with garden space! I’ll have to add that idea to my notebook for the future.
I used to be a little upset but I excited to see how it works
Caught up in their mineral ration. If they don't have enough minerals, they'll be determined to get it from the soil.
Enjoyed the show my Tennessee friend! Thanks for the advice and video. Take it easy!
Welcome
We're just getting starting with Kunes. We have two boars and plan on adding a couple of females this year. I love your fencing system and the pig-loo. I plan on doing something similar, so easy to move them.
Thanks we have tried different things and this is by far the easiest we have found to keep them moving! Thanks for following along!
Happy pigs.
Thanks for the informative video. They sure love coming to you for some affection, don't they? Enjoyed a full-watch.
Yes they do they are like dogs! We love them! Thanks for following along.
Can you just have one breeding pair and keep them together year round? Then just separate the piglets you keep to grow for meat?
I do know people that farrow with their boar and sow together son it now possible. The only issue would be that you don’t want your female getting pregnant to early

Kune's are not supposed to root. Mine don't at all. Why are yours rooting?? I found a type error in the previous message.
Do u have any that u consider as pets ? I’m new to learning about this breed and plan on purchasing a kunekune as a pet within the next year.. 😊
How much do they cost to buy ?
What did it cost roughly to feed meat pigs till you butchered them...we are wanting to raise 2-4 for meat but would like to know an estimated cost to do so for peace of mind
We just did similar separating feeders from breeders. What age are you processing your meat pigs at?
They will be a year in June we were thinking of processing around November
Premier fencing sponsorship? It works guys. Lol. In the background the pig yelps from touching it. Can you imagine with a shovel doing what they did. They tore that up. You keep forgetting the apples. Just kidding. You could use anything to get there attention. When the pigs scream do you think they think your going to drop them ? I guess it ain’t natural for them.
Sponsorship would be sweet. Hahaha. Yeah they don’t like their feet off the ground
I would like to know what weight 🤫 size do you butcher at 300lbs?!
How did they migrate or when did they from NZ ??!!

Thanks for along
Kune's are not supposed to root. My don't at all. Why are yours rooting??
I have the opportunity to reseed 10 acres and start from scratch just wondering if you have ever reseeded any of your pastures and what did you use I live in Tennessee
We never have but I definitely need to I. The areas that they have torn up in the wet winters. I need to look into what is a good option
Hey there. Did your family castrate your barrow yourselves or did you have someone do it? Thanks!
We use to take to the vet but he moved so now we do it ourselves
@@KCFarms we had our Kune Kune barrow castrated by the vet as well but we also would like to do it ourselves. How did you learn to do it? Or how do you recommend learning? Thanks. I really love your channel and your Kune’s.
I watched the vet it’s not fun but really pretty easy. I may do a video on it just not sure if UA-cam allows it I’ll look into it. Thanks for following along
You don’t need to age pig manure do you? I was told rabbit and pig manure could be applied without aging.
I’ve heard you can and I also have heard it need to compost 4 month so not 100% sure
What is a fair price to pay for a big we would like to breed?
Are you talking a gilt or are you asking about piglets?
@@KCFarms Piglets
We have seen them listed anywhere from $450 to $1000 for registered pigs
I thought Kunes didn't root as much?
Some root more than others but they are definitely less destructive than other breeds. We have some that don’t root and all. It seems when the ground is wet or there are a bunch of grubs in a certain area then they will root more
@@KCFarms what about getting one for suckling pig? Kune?
I got 4 month olds on pasture. Kunekune/red wattle mix. How much feed should each pig be getting at 4 months. 25lb pig average
Right now I’m giving 1.5lb per pig per day.
Hmm not 100% sure. We give two cups in the morning and 2 in the afternoon at feeding for ours. Best thing to do is just keep and eye on your pig and if they start to look overweight cut it back.
What did they weigh when you took to freezer camp
We haven’t taken them yet looking to get an appointment
@@KCFarms ok ya I'm taking my first 2 beginning December will be just over a year old
