Kune Kune Pig Keeping Courses and Breeding Workshops

please note: the courses do not run as frequently during the summer months due to our commitment to promoting the breed at shows.

 Know anyone who loves pigs? How about treating them to a gift voucher for a day course?

One Day Course - Next Available Date:  8th June

(Breeding Workshops - Next available Date -  22nd June)

One Day Course 10.00am-4.30pm

This is a very relaxed and informal day which gives you the chance to meet our pigs, see how they are kept, and ask as many questions as you like about Kune Kunes and how to keep them. A chance to decide if you think pig keeping is really for you. Topics covered are as follows:

• Histroy of Kunes
• Legal Requirements
• Housing
• Fencing
• Feeding
• Breeding
• General Health and Care
• Handling, Injecting, Ear Tagging
• Choosing a Pig

We do not produce meat from our pigs and we are not commercial pig keepers,so if you're looking at going into meat production then this is probably not the course for you.
