A few notes from Rocky Acres:
Overall, a piglets health begins long before they are born into the world. We continuously assess all of our breeding stock to ensure they are ready to breed, prior to arranging the pairing. The pig needs to be in healthy physical condition to promote a healthy pregnancy. You do not want to breed a pig too young or immature, nor do you want to breed a pig who is overweight.
Rocky Acres Farm follows a strict nutrition program and vaccination/deworming protocol established by our specialized swine vets: Greenbelt Veterinarian Services and Mulligan Veterinarian Services.
​
KuneKunes can change ALOT between birth and weaning. We do not make any final decisions about what piglet meets our breeding quality standards Vs. pet and/or meat quality until weaning - 8 weeks of age.
Once we have classified the piglets, we assist our buyers in selecting the best available pig to meet their needs - in order of deposit received. Deposits are non-refundable. For the largest variety, place your deposit early and you can always "pass" on available animals until the next litter.

PLEASE NOTE*
1. For the welfare of our pigs we do not sell pigs to solo homes. Prospective homes should have KuneKunes already or have plans to purchase more than one piglet from us or simultaneously from another breeder.
​
2. A piglet born with a single wattle or no wattles - but whom meets our strict breeding standards in every other way will not be rejected as breeding stock for lack of this cosmetic trait and can be registered with AKKPS.
​
3. Pet/companion Boar Piglets will be castrated at 10-12weeks of age with the utmost care by our swine veterinarian under local anesthetic and provided pain management during and after the procedure, as-well as broad spectrum antibiotics. The piglet will remain under our observation for 10days post procedure before leaving the farm to their new home. Barrows can then be registered as pets with AKKPS.
4. To help ensure the preservation and true conformation of the KuneKune breed we do not sell companion/pet Gilts or Sows. The procedure to alter a Gilt/Sow is extremely risky to the pigs health and thus all female piglets will only be sold as breeding stock or put into our own personal pet/pork program.
