 We will be showing R.R.F. Kunekune-hogs, and presenting,(in the show ring), some young, in tact, Kunekune breeding stock (to the standard of perfection).

 Speakers at the AKBA conference will be addressing, hog related facts. The conference will feature various classes, demonstrations, seminars, Q&A, hands-on workshops, and a hog roast!

 Some of the world's leading experts, on Kunekune hogs will be present, including Lori Enright, President of the American Kunekune Breeders Association. This is a great time to learn about heritage-breed hogs, the preservation of rare, or endangered hogs, multi-purpose hogs, grass-feeding vs grain feeding, breeding for the show-ring, pets, preservation, breed-improvement, or meat. 

The Kunekune-breed is one of the best multi-purpose hogs, for small, sustainable, grass-based/pasture based, farming operations.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
