SCRIBBLES: one of the most physically and mentally even boars we’ve ever produced! Scribbles is that guy in high school who all the parents and teachers loved. He’s not a brown noser, but smart in a down to earth way, does a great book report, and is too nerdy for sports but too cool for band. You know that guy. All around solid, likeable, and super handsome once his braces come off. (Ok, I may have pushed this analogy a little too far.)

Scribbles is everything you want a boar to be. His confirmation is straight, even, and good sized. He’s got big expressive ears, and comes galloping when called. He always helps with farm projects but somehow never gets underfoot. Just a joy to have around. (The last couple pics are throwbacks of baby Scribbles just because he was so dang cute!)

Scribbles is available as a AKKPS registered Boris line boar and is perfect for folks looking to bring size, big ears and mellow personality into their Kune breeding programs. He’s a wonderful combo of both his parents and I expect him to mature around 350 lbs.

At this time I do not have an unrelated breeding gilt I can sell with him, but I’m happy to point you to breeders who would! And I DO have a couple sweet castrated males would would make wonderful ‘buddy barrows’ for. Specifically, he is very close with a barrow named Keebler. It would be great if they could stay together.

Ralphie was born here to Lentil & Chubs in 2018. He was the largest of his litter and remains our largest boar today, at a fit and active 400lbs. He is also our most mellow boar and loves water in all its forms. If blowing bubbles in one’s water was a sport, Ralphie would have gone pro.

We purchased Ima from Relic Run Kunes after falling absolutely with Ima’s mom Puppy back in 2016. Puppy is a Supreme Champion sow out of the USA HERD, and an absolute love of a pig to boot. We were on a waiting list for several years to get Ima, and she was worth it! Ima brings champion bloodlines and good confirmation to our herd. She is long, straight, and even. Plus she has her mom’s incredibly friendly personality. We call Ima our yard pig because while she’s fine with being in a pasture, this social butterfly hates to feel like she’s missing out on anything so we usually leave her out to supervise everything.

BEAN: the Velcro-est pig ever! Bean is coming up on six months old and is such a special guy. He is happiest walking along right next to (ok, touching) my leg and chattering on about his many thoughts and feelings. With his airplane ears, bold spots, and huge personality, Bean is one of a kind! (The last two pics are throw backs from baby Bean times just because he was so dang cute!)

Bean is available as a AKKPS registered Boris line boar and is perfect for folks looking to bring body length, big ears and PERSONALITY into their Kune breeding programs. He’s a wonderful combo of both his parents and I expect him to mature around 320lbs.

At this time I do not have an unrelated breeding gilt I can sell with him, but I’m happy to point you to breeders who would! I DO have a couple sweet castrated males would would make wonderful ‘buddy barrows’ for Bean.

CADBURY: effortlessly handsome! Cadbury is that cool hunky football star from high school who was friends with everyone— band nerds, honor roll kids, stoners, teachers. Everyone loves Cadbury. He is coming up on six months old, and I have looked really hard for a reason to keep him and am only now accepting that Cadbury can do more good on someone else’s farm. We just have too many of his close relatives. (The last few pics are throwbacks from baby Cadbury times just because he was so dang cute!)

Cadbury is available as a AKKPS registered Boris line boar and is perfect for folks looking to bring size, big ears and mellow personality into their Kune breeding programs. He’s a wonderful combo of both his parents and I expect him to mature around 375lbs. He is already showing signs of being ready to get to work on making big beautiful babies.

At this time I do not have an unrelated breeding gilt I can sell with him, but I’m happy to point you to breeders who would! And I DO have a couple sweet castrated males would would make wonderful ‘buddy barrows’ for. Specifically, he is very close with a barrow named Big Ed. It would be great if they could stay together.

Amelia

AMELIA

Kunekune gilt
AKKPS registered
Double wattled
DOB: 3/12/2022
Wilson’s Gina x BH Tutaki

This second litter by Bestie and Charlie certainly did not disappoint! Although it was only three in the litter, all three are beautiful! This ginger and black gilt was born double wattled with a beautiful confirmation: nice and square but not fatty, perfect teat line, medium-short snout, and sassy black ‘pantaloons’ markings. I expect her to mature around 325lbs. Amelia’s personality is curious and extremely sweet. She makes friends everywhere she goes— from tiny babies to giant boars and very curious dogs.

NOTE: Amelia is only still available because her original buyer experienced sudden serious health issues and eventually had to back out of their plans to have kunes. Amelia has never left our farm and never experienced any upheaval from this situation, making this a wonderful opportunity to get a well adjusted older gilt that will be ready to breed as early as next spring.

Please note that for the welfare of the pigs we do not sell pigs to solo homes. Prospective homes should have kunes already or have plans to purchase more than one piglet from us or simultaneously from another breeder.

Price $700

This second litter by Bestie and Charlie certainly did not disappoint! Although it was only three in the litter, all three are beautiful! This brown and white boarling was born double wattled with a beautiful confirmation: chunky and square, perfect teat line, short snout, and sassy black ‘pantaloons’ markings. I expect him to mature around 350lbs. Guthrie’s personality is curious and extremely sweet. He is quick to come when called and instantly fall over for scratches and belly rubs.

NORMAN

Black & white Kunekune boar
AKKPS registered
Double wattled
DOB: 3/12/2022 (Ready 5/21/22)
BH Tutaki x Wilson’s Gina

This second litter by Bestie and Charlie certainly did not disappoint! Although it was only three in the litter, all three are beautiful! This black and white boarling was born double wattled with a beautiful confirmation: long and square, perfect teat line, short snout, and striking markings. I expect him to mature around 350lbs. As handsome as Norman already is, it’s his personality that’s stolen the show since day one. He is the first to come when called, likes to be held, and instantly falls over for scratches and belly rubs. Norman is going to be an usually sweet and handsome adult boar someday!

Please note: Norman is an intact male, making him very suitable for breeding herds but not as a pet. Also note that for the welfare of the pigs we do not sell pigs to solo homes. Prospective homes should have kunes already or have plans to purchase more than one piglet from us or simultaneously from another breeder.

Double wattled
DOB: 1/20/2021
BH Tutaki x Wilson’s Gina

We are over the moon about this first litter by our sow Bestie! Although it was only three this time, all three were beautiful— Sunny possibly the most so! This solid ginger was born double wattled but lost his right one at about six months old while wrestling, but that doesn’t matter for genetics or registration. Sunny has a beautiful confirmation: nice and square but not fatty, perfect teat line, medium-short snout, and gorgeous golden ginger color. I expect him to mature around 350lbs. His personality is confident but quiet, calm, and extremely sweet. Gets along great with everyone from tiny babies to giant boars. Will be ready to breed very soon as he’s already getting pretty interested in ladies— he wants to make beautiful spring litters for you! Sunny is available as long as we don’t change our mind and keep him—so you’d better hustle because he’s getting better and better every day!
