Hi all,
Thanks for the warm welcome. It seems there are few Scottish smallholders around too. That's good news as I thought I might be the only one!
Karen / HappyHippy. Sorry, we don't have a boar Kune Kune - well not in tact anyway. The pigs were the first livestock we brought in here about three years ago. We started with two castrated male weaners and the idea was to eat them. Sadly, my daughter took a fit at this idea and declared herself vegetarian and put us under a lot of pressure. When the time came around we decided to pacify the family and reclassified the pigs as keepers - lucky them. We had already taken on a pedigree sow, but no boar still to mate her with. Before proceeding on the pig front, I want to know more about the viability of pure Kune Kunes as food - I have heard they do not make the best eating - do you have a view?
