Understanding AKKPS Registration Papers: Part 2
For this post, we are going to focus on the section just below the official name of the pig. Much of this information is basic and self-explanatory, but there are a few parts that need some explaining or elaboration.
Kids and KuneKunes
Sometimes I forget that my little farm, and everything it includes, isn’t exactly ‘the norm’ for most people.
One Sire, Two Sires, Three Sires, Four…
At this point in life, there are few times where I am just completely blown away with the feeling of, “I had no idea that was possible.” I attribute that to two things: knowing the Lord, and the fact that I have six children ages 10 and under.
The Most Important Things
It’s probably one of the most commonly asked questions by new kunekune owners:
Are KuneKune Pigs 100% Grassfed?
What is every homesteader’s dream animal? The kind that is self-sustaining.
Wintertime and The Feed Dilemma

One of the best things about Kunekunes is their simplicity. They’re grass-fed, extremely docile, they don’t damage your fencing, and they even wean their own piglets if allowed to.
