Kune Kune suitability
Posted: Fri Mar 11, 2011 12:13 pmI have seen a couple of Kune Kune boars going at a very reasonable price. Has anyine any experience of using them for meat? I have only ever associated them with pets.

If killed young, they are one of the nicest eating pigs. They do make nice pets. My friends have 1 that knows how to sit on comand, for a good ol' scratch behind the ear. Good luck mate.

Posted: Wed Mar 23, 2011 2:39 amThanks Tristar. You are absolutely right. I realise the importance of fat. I am talking about the difference between the Kunekune's and the pigs people are used to eating. Another good tip to mention,: For extra flavour, feed them fruit at least 2 weeks before they are killed. This can be easy if you time them with when the fruit is ready to drop off the trees. Going with nature. Anytime between 3months old and 6months old is cool.
