  • We were able to get our first kunekune pigs harvested and it didn't disappoint. We started raising kunekune pigs for their meat and after almost 3 years were able to get our first kunes processed. In the video we talk about how much they weighed and also we show you some of the dark red marbled meat!

    Ham hocks and greens(collard, mustard or turnip). Ham hocks also provide excellent flavoring for a pot of beans(fresh green beans, Pintos or Anasazi). If you got those hocks smoked, even better. Plenty of recipes on the internet. Neck bones are great for making bone broth. Bone broth has all kinds of nutritional and immune system benefits.

    Just an FYI, that you can ask for specific cuts (no need to get cuts you won't eat or cook) and ask for the bones and fat, etc.

    One of my favorite pork recipes is "Transylvanian Goulash" from Americas Test Kitchen/Cook's Country. It calls for a 3 1/2 lbs boneless pork butt roast. Even with grocery store bought meat it turns out so amazingly succulent and tender. I can't imagine how much better it would be with KuneKune meat. I also would kill for Carnitas made with KuneKune! Rick Bayless has a great recipe for that...calls for pork shoulder. Insanely delicious!

    Don't think I've seen this mentioned in the comments yet so I'll go out on a limb and suggest it. If you smoke those hocks they are the most necessary ingredient in split pea soup besides maybe the peas themselves!

    If you get chains here's some advice
    Straight across chains have the problem of falling between deep treads of certain tires but are the most affordable
    Slightly better than that is field chains they connect the cross chains into circles to help prevent the cross chains falling into the treads
    And finally for the most aggressive chains there is log skidder chains they have solod steel ring half an inch thick with protrusions from the ring these will destroy black top pavement but they are meant for the worst of conditions

    Our meat pigs are about ready to process. I don’t know how backed up the butchers are in your area, but here in North Texas and Southern Oklahoma, they are 8+ months out. We’re most likely going to process them ourselves this time.
    Your pigs are all so healthy and beautiful. I love watching your videos and getting actual useful information on the pros and cons of everyday farm life. It is a lot different now from when I was a kid, so I need all of the help I can get. 😆

    It's good for the breed to eat the 'worst' pigs. Especially 'bad' females are good to keep and eat, so they won't reproduce in pet homes. Barrows are great for 'just pets', calmest temperament and absolutely no accidental breeding😆
