happy hippy at that time we were feeding barlley with sow nuts and potatoes they were to fat and to long in maturing also we were up to 125 pigs in total dont have kune kunes now and supposing they were free i would not have them even for pets the piglets in the pic we hope to get to slaughter weight at14wks/18wks with minimal fat
My Kunes are on grass, with supplimentary fruit and veg (and wheat feed pellets when there's no grass) - I agree that sow nuts and barley WOULD make them VERY fat (the protien levels are just way too much for them). As for not having them, even supposing they were free - we'll just have to agree to disagree
I LOVE my Kunes
Wonderfull natures, soooooo easy to handle and a great choice for me. BUT I'm not worried about how long they take to get to slaughter size or what kind of return I'm going to get on them
I reckon if you're slaughtering @ 14-18 weeks then you've got a cross of Large/Middle white and pietrain to give that kind of speed (but maybes not lol!) It'll be interesting to find out what they are
