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.
