About Jester: Super sweet, friendly, happy pig. Both testicles descended. Not reaching growth rates needed for the Dos Lobos breeding program (he was 150 lbs. on his 1st birthday), but should make a great homestead boar. He is from a pork program that focuses on the leaner body type for Kunekunes, so if you want less fat cover on your hogs, this is the line that will do it. Excellent feet and legs... we're heartbroken that he'll be leaving. He is too sweet to eat! He is out of USA Tuahuru 3 (Royal Detail) x BVF Rebecca Gina 72 (Fable).

About Moneyshot: Super sweet and friendly, just like his daddy. Excellent feet and legs, steady growth rate, weaned around 28 lbs. Is susceptible to sunburn with the high amount of white and has shown signs of dippity (stress from sunburn). Will need plenty of shade for him to self-regulate the sunburn proneness of his skin. Ready to go now!

We’ve learned a lot over the years—more than can probably be summed up in one place—but these are the lessons that have stuck with us.
First, no Kunekune is perfect -- you select for the best... and the rest go into the pork program.
Second, breeding management matters more than most people realize. Kunekunes need to have litters consistently—typically twice per year—or they can become prone to reproductive issues like ovarian cysts. This is a known challenge in the breed and something that has to be planned for from the start.This ties directly into the first lesson: there will always be more pigs coming along, and every litter is another opportunity to improve your genetics.
Third, there is strong local demand for high-quality, pasture-raised pork. Here in North Texas, we’ve found there is always a need for good, honest meat—and that creates a reliable outlet for pigs that don’t make the cut as breeding stock.
And finally, if you're going to build a breeding program, you need a pork program, too. Without it, you’ll quickly find yourself financially strained trying to support pigs that didn’t sell as breeders.
That’s why we consider ourselves a pork-first program and a breeder-quality piglet program second.
Pork keeps the lights on—and keeps your family fed.
And truth be told…
if you can’t bring yourself to eat these cute, sweet little pigs…
you might not be hungry enough. 😉
Not all Kunekune piglets are raised—or selected—the same.
At Dos Lobos Ranch, every piglet is evaluated for:
Temperament
Calm, easy-to-handle pigs are essential. Any piglet that shows poor temperament is moved into our pork program.
Maternal Genetics
We select from sows that consistently raise strong, healthy litters without intervention.
Growth & 200 in 12 Genetics
Our piglets come from genetics that target 200 pounds by 12 months, helping you reach butcher weight efficiently.
Meat Quality
We don’t just breed pigs—we raise pork. That means our piglets are selected based on how they perform on the plate, not just on paper.
All piglets at Dos Lobos Ranch are:

🧬Our Selection Process
We start evaluating piglets from day one.

Piglets that don’t meet breeding criteria are placed into our pork program—nothing goes to waste.
📝 How to Reserve a Kunekune Piglet
Our process is simple:
We’re happy to help guide you through the process—especially if this is your first time raising pigs.
Deposit and Payment
A non-refundable deposit on breeding quality piglets of $100 will be due at reservation with the remaining balance due at pick up. A basic contract will be required to be completed at reservation. All breeding quality piglets will have a base price of $500 and will go up from there. We accept Paypal, Venmo, or Zelle, but cash is always king.
Registration and ID
Piglets will go home with full registration and breeding rights from AKKPS only since we are an AKKPS Exclusive Breeder. All piglets will be microchipped and samples pulled for DNA before they leave. Any piglets leaving Texas will be required to have their appropriate USDA ear tags and a CVI (certificate of veterinary inspection) from our vet.
Health and Vaccinations
Piglets will have had iron injections at 3 days of age and Rhinishield vaccine for pneumonia. Parvovirus vaccine is not offered by our vet for pigs, so if that is something you require, please mention it and we will try to work something out.
Transport and Travel
We will work with a transporter at buyer's expense. The transporters we have used in the past have quoted $1.00 per mile. We understand that this is a huge expense, but don't want you to be surprised if you've never shipped livestock before. Any out of state transport will require a CVI from our vet within 2 weeks of the piglet leaving and will be invoiced along with the final amount due to the buyer. The destination may have specific laws regarding livestock entry, please check and plan ahead with us. We have a short list of transporters with whom we have worked with in the past. Any transport crates that need to be purchased will be added to the final invoice of purchase.
Specifics and Details
If a buyer wants wattled piglets or a certain color, please indicate that when you place your deposit and we will work with your requests as best as the dice roll from the dam and sire lets us. :) If you are purchasing a lone boar and need a barrow for his companion, barrows will be $100. If you buy a starter pack unrelated breeding pair or trio, a companion barrow will be included free of charge.
Price and Deposit
Feeder piglets at 8 weeks of age are $125 regardless of size and gender. A $50 non-refundable deposit is required for feeder piglets.
Castration Policy for Feeders
Boars will be castrated at 6-8 weeks of age before leaving, no exceptions. Feeder piglets will not be registered unless you intend to enter a pig into the Market Pig class at a show. If you decide to show your market barrow at a later date after purchase, we don't mind helping set up a market pig registration for the buyer at buyer's expense.
Health and Vaccinations
Feeder piglets WILL NOT receive vaccinations other than iron shots at 3 days of age, unless otherwise requested. We understand that most families raising their own pork want vaccine-free and we will honor this unless otherwise requested. Vaccines will be given at no additional charge if requested.
No Lone Pigs Policy
Piglets sold for market must be joining other pigs, otherwise two will be required to be purchased together, no exceptions. Our pigs will be ready for harvest between 12-14 months of age.
Pet Pig Policy
Companion animals or pets will be sold without breeding rights or registration. We do not sell pet quality pigs often, but will offer undersized runts once in a while.
Since we are focused on breeding larger pigs for pork, bringing home these genetics as a pet, even if it is a runt, has the genetic potential to surprise us and turn into a 300-400 lb. animal.
Unless you are prepared to deal with a massive kunekune, we suggest you find another breeder who does not focus on the 200 in 12 genetics if you want a pet. We can certainly point you towards some good breeders in the DFW area, so please reach out! Otherwise, any runts will be posted to our Facebook page only when they become available.
Pet Price
These piglets will go for $250 with a $150 non-refundable deposit. They will be vaccinated before they leave and males will be castrated, no exceptions. The remaining balance is due at pick up. Pet pigs must be going to a home with other pigs. If you have no other pigs, then another runt will be required to be purchased if we have one available. Otherwise, we can point you towards pigs available for adoption from the aforementioned local breeders.
Dos Lobos Ranch is a pasture-based farm in North Texas raising:
We focus on regenerative farming and raising animals that are both functional and high quality.
But we don't just raise livestock -- we ensure meat quality control in what we raise and sell (ie: we eat what we raise, and what we don't sell, we eat).
For other farms and homesteads like us, the customer experience matters.

Join the Reservation List Today
How much do Kunekune piglets cost?
Pricing varies depending on genetics and classification (feeder vs breeder). Contact us for current pricing and availability.
Do you offer registered piglets?
Yes, we offer AKKPS registered piglets for breeding programs, along with feeder piglets for meat production. Any boars going solo to a new home can have a barrow companion added for an additional $100.
Can I raise Kunekune pigs on pasture?
Yes. Kunekunes are one of the best pig breeds for pasture-based systems due to their grazing behavior and lower rooting tendencies.
Do I need more than one pig?
Yes. Pigs are social animals and do best when raised in pairs or groups. We will not sell a piglet to anyone unless they already have pigs or if they're taking home at least two.
