| Dear Peter Thank you for your enquiry. We have never slaughtered a Kune Kune so cannot speak from experience. Some breeders that have produced Kune Kune meat tell us that they always seem to be too fat; but that of course could be due to not taking enough care to finish them properly. There are, however, one or two breeders who keep them specifically to market the meat and they seem to have successful enterprises. Kune meat is definitely a niche market and you have to persuade your customers that it is a delicacy and something special. If they don't agree with you they won't come back. It would be much less of a gamble to keep some of the old traditional breeds and rear them in the old fashioned way. You can guarantee to get quality pork, ham, bacon and lots of loyal, returning customers. |
