How we choose breeding pigs

BF Farm has been raising Kunekunes since 2011 — 15 years. We plan pairings around pedigree, genetic diversity, health, structure, temperament, parents, breed quality, and what each pig is best suited for.

COI helps us manage pedigree relatedness and protect genetic diversity, so we seek the lowest COI we can responsibly achieve. That is one part of responsible breeding; our genetic-soundness guarantee is a separate promise that backs the pigs we sell.

Low COI is intentionalWe use COI as a genetic-diversity tool and deliberately avoid unnecessary pedigree overlap.
The whole pig mattersHealth, structure, temperament, parents, pedigree, breed character, and purpose all matter in breeding decisions.
We stand behind what we sellOur genetic-soundness guarantee puts accountability behind the quality claims we make.

We share what we have learned.

The BF Farm Knowledge Base covers feeding, pasture, fencing, health, genetics, breeding, farrowing, piglet care, and pork.

The right pig depends on what you want to do.

A companion pair, a breeding pig, and feeder pigs are not chosen the same way. We start with what you want the pigs for, your property, and your experience.
