In Sue Weaver's "Homegrown Pork", Kunekune pigs are identified as the ideal pig breed for families in suburban environments.

Homegrown Pork (Storey, 2013) by Sue Weaver offers an outline on successfully raising pigs for modern backyard meat using humane and healthy techniques.  Along the way we learn the secret to developing succulent pork which begins with breed choices and ends with an affordable amount of rooting space.
