KUNEKUNE SHELTERS

My father builds all of my pig shelters.

Each are filled with green hay which not only serves as bedding but also a food source.

I use plastic carpet protectors and mattress pads to keep the wind and rain out.​

CLEANING UP POOP

Kunekunes mostly defecate around the fence lines of their enclosures and rarely defecate in their shelters.

In my small fields I clean up every other day using a small rake, handled garbage container and muck bucket.

In my large fields, I allow the manure to fertilize.

KEEPING KUNEKUNES COOL

KuneKunes do not sweat. It is very important to provide them with shade and a mud hole. I do use some baby pools but mud is better for protection against insects and provides protection against the sun. If your Kunekunes try to drink out to the mud holes you can add vinegar - this will also keep the bugs down in the mud holes. For shade I use Wind Sails and also fruit trees! The fruit trees are multi purpose :)

FENCING

There are many types of fencing that work great for KuneKune pigs. Here at Red Rood KuneKunes we use hog panels, t-posts, pulled wire and wooden posts. I have not experimented with electric fencing only because all of my land is already fenced.
