We have been wanting some pasture pigs for a while here on the ranch. This past week, an opportunity knocked and we answered by jumping in with both feet. A friend brought us 2 Kune Kune intact boars which needed a rehoming spot, and we had some established pasture where we ran our spring batch of meat birds. As soon as they came off the truck, they went straight to the salad bar grass where I had mowed to 5" tall. These 2 are so easy to handle, even Fatback at 350+ lbs is a very docile animals. Theyre almost like dogs, and will beg you for a belly rub!
They already came trained to electric fence so I can move them anywhere I need some grass and brush control.
KuneKune pigs are easy on your pasture and wont root up to a fence. Only the Idaho Pasture Pig would do better on small homesteads like ours, and theyre hard to find.
Ultimately I would like to breed my own "IPP" style pig from the lighter colored boar with Berkshire and Duroc sows and see if I can establish the PPP aka (Mount) Pleasant pasture pig 🤣
