UPDATED September 10, 2021 Hello and welcome to our home on the web! We are Hilly Haven Farm and located in central Wisconsin. We raise AKKPS KuneKune pigs, KHSI Katahdin sheep and a few breeds of poultry including bantam Calico Cochin and Buckeyes. Please visit us on Facebook for most current information. https://www.facebook.com/hillyhavenfarm/ |
AKKPS KuneKune Pigs
We started with Kunes (pronounced cooney cooney not like the word coon, a word from the New Zealand Maori tribe, their homeland, that means fat fat) in 2014. They are a wonderful breed of hog! They make great pets and are an excellent choice for a small pastured pork. They are extremely gentle, mine graze with my Katahdin sheep and I've even had broody hens raise chicks with a litter of piglets. We prefer a shorter type nose as we have a very heavy wet soil in spring and the longer nosed ones do dig a bit in our soil then, so we've decided to stay with shorter faced ones and they don't dig holes.
Kunes are very friendly and love belly rubs. They are smart and love to interact with their human caretakers. We feed our adults 2-6 cups a day of pelleted pig feed depending on season and other available goodies, pasture, produce in summer/fall and alfalfa mix hay in winter.

Katahdin Sheep
In early 2018 we added a small flock of Katahdin sheep. We have 12 KHSI registered ewes and 2 KHSI rams. We don't have the land to have a large flock so we will just have a small flock. I will be breeding towards healthy, slick shedding animals with good size, temperament and colorful. We have no abscesses or hoof issues in our flock. All adults are johnes and OPP negative. We will have nice healthy lambs available each year and start lambing in February.
Poultry
|
Our main breed is bantam calico cochins. we breed for a nice body type but don't breed any of our poultry to a show standard, they are just for fun, so colorful, healthy, good tempered birds are what you will see in our flock. A fun project for us are the Isabella colored Old English Game Bantams. A beautiful fun little bird, very active, good temperament, friendly and great layers if you like quarter sized eggs.
