Boris x Wilson’s Gina

Garbanzo and his brother Fava are both top notch boarlings. Their parents Chubs & Chickpea consistently produce some of the all-around nicest piglets we have. Their babies are a must get for any herd interested in strong genetics for good feet, size/growth rate, typey heads, and fabulous personality. Garbanzo stands out for his especially smarts and perfectly chunky body. He is the kind of pig who wants to think things through for himself, and then goes whole hog (so to speak) once he decides something or someone is good. Where as Fava marched up to everyone at just a day or two old, Garbanzo was friendly but not especially squishy at first. But once he found out that snuggles and people are awesome, he was all in! Garbanzo loves hard and is very loyal. He will do great on a smaller farm with a steady pace of life that lets him form deep, long standing relationships with his humans and fellow kunes. (He’s not a petting zoo kind of guy.) Garbanzo could be skittish around young children for a minute until they are still and quiet and let him figure it out. Then he will love them with all his heart. We expect Garbanzo will be a big fella when grown, probably 375lbs.

Please note: Garbanzo is an intact male, making him very suitable for breeding herds but not as a pet due to hormones and tusks that can cause serious injuries even just accidentally. Also note that for the welfare of the pigs we never sell pigs to live solo lives. Prospective homes should have kunes already or have plans to purchase more than one piglet from us or simultaneously from another breeder.

Sire: Chubs

AKKPS-6435

Chubs came to us via Sequoia Mountain kunes in California, and has easily established himself as a, if not the, foundational sire in our Kune herd. Chubs is handsome and a total joy to work with. One need to only sit in his pasture for a moment to have 375lbs of boar plopped in their lap!

Dam: Chickpea

AKKPS-6323

Chickpea is a blond bombshell born here in our very first litter of registered kunekunes! She is is the embodiment of happiness and good breeding, her sweet little bat face grinning as she thunders over to say hello. Chickpea is a devoted and tender momma to all babies, whether they are hers or not. Hopefully we will continue to welcome gorgeous Chickpea litters for many years to come. Her offspring are some of the finest pigs we’ve produced here.

Scribbles

SCRIBBLES: one of the most physically and mentally even boars we’ve ever produced! Scribbles is that guy in high school who all the parents and teachers loved. He’s not a brown noser, but smart in a down to earth way, does a great book report, and is too nerdy for sports but too cool for band. You know that guy. All around solid, likeable, and super handsome once his braces come off. (Ok, I may have pushed this analogy a little too far.)

Scribbles is everything you want a boar to be. His confirmation is straight, even, and good sized. He’s got big expressive ears, and comes galloping when called. He always helps with farm projects but somehow never gets underfoot. Just a joy to have around. (The last couple pics are throwbacks of baby Scribbles just because he was so dang cute!)

Scribbles is available as a AKKPS registered Boris line boar and is perfect for folks looking to bring size, big ears and mellow personality into their Kune breeding programs. He’s a wonderful combo of both his parents and I expect him to mature around 350 lbs.

At this time I do not have an unrelated breeding gilt I can sell with him, but I’m happy to point you to breeders who would! And I DO have a couple sweet castrated males would would make wonderful ‘buddy barrows’ for. Specifically, he is very close with a barrow named Keebler. It would be great if they could stay together.

Ralphie was born here to Lentil & Chubs in 2018. He was the largest of his litter and remains our largest boar today, at a fit and active 400lbs. He is also our most mellow boar and loves water in all its forms. If blowing bubbles in one’s water was a sport, Ralphie would have gone pro.

We purchased Ima from Relic Run Kunes after falling absolutely with Ima’s mom Puppy back in 2016. Puppy is a Supreme Champion sow out of the USA HERD, and an absolute love of a pig to boot. We were on a waiting list for several years to get Ima, and she was worth it! Ima brings champion bloodlines and good confirmation to our herd. She is long, straight, and even. Plus she has her mom’s incredibly friendly personality. We call Ima our yard pig because while she’s fine with being in a pasture, this social butterfly hates to feel like she’s missing out on anything so we usually leave her out to supervise everything.

BEAN: the Velcro-est pig ever! Bean is coming up on six months old and is such a special guy. He is happiest walking along right next to (ok, touching) my leg and chattering on about his many thoughts and feelings. With his airplane ears, bold spots, and huge personality, Bean is one of a kind! (The last two pics are throw backs from baby Bean times just because he was so dang cute!)

Bean is available as a AKKPS registered Boris line boar and is perfect for folks looking to bring body length, big ears and PERSONALITY into their Kune breeding programs. He’s a wonderful combo of both his parents and I expect him to mature around 320lbs.

At this time I do not have an unrelated breeding gilt I can sell with him, but I’m happy to point you to breeders who would! I DO have a couple sweet castrated males would would make wonderful ‘buddy barrows’ for Bean.
