"The Kunekune Hog (pronounced "cooney cooney") is a breed known as the "Maori Pig" having been developed by the first people of New Zealand. Being near extinction in their homeland during the 1970's, two animal preservationists, Michael Willis and John Simister, are credited with their conservation. Since that time, the breed has gained recognition on both the North and South Islands of New Zealand, in Great Britain and Europe, the United States and, most recently, in Canada. The Kunekune Hog is finding a serious niche market for small farms, in sustainable farming systems, for permaculture, and with chefs, charcuterie artisans, caterers, and in home butchery.
Kunekune Hogs are a smaller size hog with boars reaching up to 500 pounds and sows 400 pounds. They are varied in hair color and hair texture with ears that are pricked or semi-lop. Extremely docile in temperament, the breed is suitable for first time hog growers."
