Stallion Management, Manor House Ranch Old Castle KuneKune Pigs

We are so Very Excited to be able to offer these wonderful Pigs to new breeders and owners in 2012.

Hauling Services:

We can haul our critters for our clients. We will be happy to offer that service. Our rates are most likely better then most haulers. We can also fly our livestock with the airlines from DFW Airport.

We are restricted by weather as to when we can make our trips. The airlines will not accept live cargo unless the temperatures are above 40 degrees and below 80 degrees. We will not get on the road if there is snow, ice, or the temperature is below 35 degrees. The risk to us, our critters, and our vehicles are not worth it. Of course, we welcome other haulers and our clients can certainly pick their new critters up at the farm. We can accommodate just about any time. We also may have lodging available with advance notice for overnight trips.

If we are flying your piglet, we really need to do that by 4 months. After that they are a bit too heavy and additional cost is involved. If you need your piglet flown, please make your purchase and requests as early as possible.

If you would like additional information about our hauling services or pricing, please contact us at

KuneKune Pigs are a

Grass Raised/Pasture Livestock

from New Zealand. They are small, blocky pigs of acceptional personalities. They are perfect for the smaller homestead farm. Easy to handle, feed, and contain, Kune Kunes are a joyful addition to farms throughout the USA.

We live in North Central Texas and our temparatures range from 25 to 35 degrees in the winter, with snow as you can see by the pictures below, to 105 in the Summer. Our pigs are outside 24/7. We bed them down with shavings and staw. I was worried about our heat more then the cold but they do very well. We do provide water/mud holes for them to cool off. They mostly live in the puddle in the Summer.

Kunes are very intelligent. I have had regular larger pigs when I lived in Massachusetts. The larger hogs were hard to keep in yards - they are master escape artists. But the Kunes never test the fencing, come when called, and are content with an average sized yard. They do not root to any great extent. They do like their puddle so they dig around that, but do not do any great damage to their paddock.

We just sold the two barrows. Thank you Dr. Crystal! They get to go together.

We will have piglets starting in July 2012. We are expecting, ginger/black, black & white, and black and creme.

We are taking reserves now!
