Mine have limited access to forage. I give them a bowl of all stock feed in the morning and evening.

[Grams56]

Thank you. Think I might have to feed them 2x daily. They’re always looking hungry

[Hanidu-Acres]

They will convince you to feed them to death. Don’t…

[Grams56]

🤣🤣 Oh. OK

KuneKune aren’t supposed to root. Much that is, they are a grazing pig. Find another KuneKune and start breeding, they go for good money. You could sell them for whatever but they are a pricey pig to get a hold of. Save your boar and slaughter the sow. I’m not sure what you plan to do with them, being siblings I wouldn’t breed them together. Risk terrible traits coming out down the line or just a mass of piglets die still birth.

The boar is fixed. But I could get another boar and start breeding. It’s all new. I have alot to learn

If a male has been castrated, they are called barrows. Boars are intact male.

I’d suggest going over to KC Farms over on youtube. They raise kunekune and share alot of information.

I also have kunekunes. But there get limited feed. Like 2-4 cups 2x a day. They are pasture pigs. They thrive on grass. I used the feed more as a treat.

[Grams56]

Oh thank you. I will check out KC Farms.

[Chris-Stubbs]

They are good.

[Grams56]

I’m now following KC Farms. Learning alot. Looking into breeding possibly next spring.

[Carter]

I would assume at 300lbs they are much older. (Or very much over fed) But I would not breed your gilt until she is atleast 12-14 months old.

I was told they are 2 years old. I believe they were overfed when I got them. I give them 2 cups pig feed each 2x daily. That’s what KC Farms does

[Carter]

Yea, that’s a good amount. Glad you found KC. Lot to learn over there!

[Grams56]

Indeed, thanks to you
