Kunekune

Kunekune

The Kunekune is a distinctive breed of miniature pig hailing from New Zealand, easily recognized by its compact, rotund body and charming demeanor. The name "Kunekune," meaning "fat and round" in Maori, captures the breed's endearing physique, characterized by a broad, rounded snout and short legs. Kunekunes are unique for their diverse array of coat colors, ranging from ginger and black to spotted and cream, often adorned with long, soft bristles. Known for their gentle and friendly temperament, Kunekunes are highly social animals, thriving on interaction with humans and other animals. This makes them excellent companions for families and small-scale hobby farmers alike. Unlike some other pig breeds, Kunekunes primarily graze on pasture, requiring minimal supplementary feed, which can make them an environmentally friendly option for sustainable farming practices. Their relatively small size and easygoing nature make them a manageable and delightful addition to any farm or homestead.
