IKHR Kunekune Pigs

Purpose-Bred Pigs. Farm-Raised with Intention.

At Willow Moon Farm, we raise IKHR-registered Kunekune pigs with one mission in mind: to produce exceptional pork from thoughtfully selected genetics. From the very beginning, we knew that in order to make Kunekune pigs work for a pasture-raised pork program, we had to start with quality. That meant investing in strong, proven lines—not just pretty pigs, but pigs with performance behind them.

Every boar and sow in our breeding herd has reached (or exceeded) 200 pounds by 12 months of age, and some even have carcass merit ultrasound data behind them. Our main herd sire was 274 pound at 12 months for reference. We’ve worked hard to source genetics from breeders who share our vision: Kunekunes that thrive on pasture, grow efficiently, and finish well for flavorful, marbled pork.

We don’t raise Kunekunes just for looks or novelty—we breed with intention. Pork is our priority. And because of that, we’re incredibly selective about which piglets carry on the Willow Moon herd name. Only the best of the best are retained or offered as future breeding stock.

We raise every breeding prospect out to 8–12 months before offering them to another farm or homestead. That gives us time to evaluate growth, structure, temperament, and confirmation. You simply can’t know what you’re working with at 8 weeks old—and we believe in doing things the right way, not the easy way.

When we got started with Kunekunes, we wished we had someone to guide us through the process—someone who bred with purpose, who would answer our questions honestly, and who cared about our success. That’s why we’re committed to being that resource for others.

When you purchase breeding stock from Willow Moon Farm, you’re not just getting a pig—you’re joining a community. We offer mentorship and personalized support to help you build a strong, sustainable pork program of your own. We also host a private Facebook group for all of our Kuni pig buyers where you can ask questions, share updates, and connect with others raising purpose-bred pigs.

Whether you’re building a pork-focused Kunekune program or adding one of our well-started growers to your homestead, you can count on transparency, support, and thoughtfully bred animals that reflect years of care and commitment.
