Raising Kunekune Pigs: Bigger Isn’t Better (Here’s the Cost)

Is bigger really better when raising Kunekune pigs for pork… or is it just costing you more in feed? In this video, we break down the real cost of raising Kunekune pigs to different weights and show you what actually matters when it comes to meat yield. From smaller pigs to larger finished hogs, we’re comparing feed costs, growth time, and how much pork you actually get in the freezer. A lot of people assume that raising a bigger pig means more meat — but with Kunekunes, that’s not always the case. We’ve found that going too big can lead to more fat, higher feed bills, and less efficient returns. If you’re raising pigs on pasture or thinking about getting started with Kunekunes, this video will help you decide the best weight to butcher for the most meat and the best value.
