Since Kunekunes are herd animals and feel most comfortable with other members of their species we strongly suggest they be purchased in groups of two or more when an existing herd is not already in place on your farm. Please keep in mind, and we cannot stress this enough, breeding boars and gilts must be separated by 6 months of age until they are ready to breed and they will need compatible companions during their separation period(s). We highly recommend our breeding trios with companions if you're just starting out on your pork production journey, this will ensure your future breeder(s) will come with a companion barrow to keep them company until the reintroduction time, at which time you could choose to process the companion, or keep them as a buddy in the future if you plan to separate your boars and sows when not breeding, which we also recommend.
Popular pasturing options that we recommend to folks just starting out:
- Barrows only; 2 or more barrows kept together for pets or grow outs
- Gilt/Barrow; 1 breeding gilt & 1 barrow pastured together
- Boar/Barrow; 1 breeding boar & 1 barrow pastured together
- Gilts only; 2 or more gilts pastured together
- Boars only; 2 or more boars pastured together
* If investing in a duo, trio, or more please remember to keep each of your pastures occupied with two or more pigs, to ward off loneliness and depression.
