Pigs

Kunekune (pronounced “cooney cooney”) Pigs are originally from New Zealand. They are a small, slow-growing breed of pig and are very docile and even-tempered. Kunekunes are excellent grazers.

Southdown and East Friesian Sheep

Southdown Sheep are a dual-purpose breed of sheep (wool and meat). East Friesian Sheep are also a dual breed (wool and dairy). Both are integral players in pasture management practices.

Scottish Highland Cows

Scottish Highland Cows are named after their native Highland region in Scotland. Scottish Highlands are easy to identify with their shaggy coats and horns. They are extremely hardy, proficient foragers and gentle giants.
