Free to Good Home - Kune Kune Pig

Bronwen
by Bronwen

We have an organic smallholding in South Wales and recently agreed to take some unwanted animals, one of which was a Kune Kune pig.

She is about 8 months old and has a lovely temperament.  We used to keep pigs but sold the last ones last year in order to carry out some essential drainage on our land.  This work is still ongoing and I don't have a suitable fenced area in which to keep her, also, I don't like keeping just the one pig - she needs company.

If you are interested, please call me on 07792-751334. I would consider delivering her to you if you can offer her a happy home (and aren't a squillion miles away).

Is she registered? Maybe Wendy Scudamore would know of someone looking for a new addition to a herd.

Hi - thanks so much for getting in touch.  She isn't registered and, if I'm honest, I don't think she's pure Kune Kune.  I don't know much about that breed and I think she looks more of a middle white (but on the small side) so it's highly likely she's a cross.  I've just spoken with the original keeper who bought her as a weaner and she's been sold on by idiots that think it's fun - for five minutes - to have a pet pig.  In five months she's had 4 owners.  I imagine that, as such, she's not of any interest to you?
