UPDATED November 5, 2018 Hello and welcome to our home on the web! We are Hilly Haven Farm and located in central Wisconsin. We raise AKPR KuneKune pigs and a few breeds of poultry including bantam Calico Cochin, Isabella OEGB (project color), and BBS Copper Marans. Please visit us on Facebook for most current information. https://www.facebook.com/hillyhavenfarm/ |
AKPR KuneKune Pigs
We started with Kunes (pronounced cooney cooney not like the word dune, 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 2-4 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 4 commercial ewes and a registered ram. We don't have the land to have a large flock so we will just have a small flock. I will be upgrading towards registered stock and will be breeding towards healthy, slick shedding animals with good size, temperament and colorful. We should have a few lambs available each year.
Poultry

We have changed our poultry program a bit this year, we are taking a break from the calico bantam cochins and have sold off our adult flock, keeping back a juvenile quad. 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. The BBS Copper Marans are a new breed this year and the youngsters are still growing up. A couple are starting to lay, so these won't be available until 2019.
