I have two kune x wild boar pigs, being a small breed what sort of weight should they be at time for slaughter for porkers ????

I doubt that many of us, if any have ever reared that combination.

You could try a mathematical calculation  :excited:

Dead weight of Kune - ask Happy Hippy
Dead wight of wild boar - anyone here got any roaming around to have a guess?

Add them together and divide by two  :roflanim:
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

why go for the run of the mill breeds, i think its fantastic…i sort of love that combination ,
we had wild boar in france..that beautiful rustic taste crossed with that sweet  meat of the kune kune should be wonderful…. i bet they will make cracking sausages, let alone some wonderful chops…

i would love to give that breed a go..i bet there would be a great market for the sausages
