Farm in Oregon City area expands Kunekune breeding efforts
Unexpected circumstances during wildfires last September help out Kristopher Buxton.
Buxton Farm has been having new litters of Kunekune pigs every couple of months send to Montana, Utah and several surrounding states as the popularity of the newly-registered pasture breed explodes worldwide.
Kristopher Buxton, who owns the Kunekune farm near Oregon City on Dillman Road, said the Disney character of pigs have become a beloved breed for their loving, loyal and carefree characteristics that remind people of Labrador retrievers. We could all use some cute piglets in our lives right now, Buxton said. They are a pasture pig, so you do not feed them waste or scraps; they get everything they need from the pastures and/or large yards and some water.
