KuneKune Piglets

Reserving, registration, and bringing a piglet home.

How do I reserve a piglet? +

Head to the Piglets For Sale page and open any available piglet's listing. Some piglets have a Stripe or PayPal buy button for reserving online right away; every piglet also has an "Email to Reserve" option that sends us a message directly so we can confirm availability and next steps.

What payment methods do you accept? +

It depends on the piglet — we're rolling out Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay) and PayPal buy buttons piglet by piglet, so check each listing to see what's enabled. Every piglet can also be reserved by emailing us directly, and we're happy to work out payment details that way.

Are your piglets AKKPS registered? +

Some are and some aren't — we raise both. Registered piglets carry AKKPS papers tracing back to our foundation herd's pedigree, while our unregistered piglets get the exact same care and come from the same farm, just without the registration paperwork. Each listing on the Piglets For Sale page notes which is which.

What age do piglets go home at? +

Piglets go to their new homes once they're fully weaned and eating well on their own. Exact timing varies litter to litter — we'll let you know the go-home date for your piglet once it's confirmed.

Is pickup required, or can you deliver? +

We're located in North Central Arkansas. We can meet at an optimal location or deliver. If you're farther out, reach out and we can talk through delivery or meet-halfway options depending on distance.

Do you offer a health guarantee? +

Our piglets are raised on pasture and monitored closely before they go home. Get in touch and we're glad to walk through the specifics of our health practices and what's covered before you reserve.

Can I get on a waitlist? +

Yes — sign up here to be notified as soon as piglets are available for our next litter.

Brown Swiss Cattle

Our registered dairy and beef herd.

Do you sell Brown Swiss cattle? +

Yes — we raise registered Brown Swiss for both dairy and meat. Availability changes with the herd, so sign up to get notified about what we currently have or expect to have available.

How are your cattle raised? +

Grass-fed, on all-natural, pesticide-free hay we grow ourselves on the farm, with no antibiotics or growth hormones. You can read more on the Brown Swiss page.

Visiting & General

Where we're located and how to reach us.

Where is Thompson Corral located? +

We're a family-owned farm in North Central Arkansas.

Can we visit the farm? +

Thompson Corral is a private working farm, so we maintain a no-visitors policy to protect the health, safety, and well-being of our animals and our guests. Biosecurity is especially important, as people, clothing, shoes, vehicles, and equipment can unknowingly carry pathogens that could put our herd at risk. While we cannot accommodate casual farm visits, we are happy to meet you at an appropriate location or arrange delivery when purchasing one of our piglets. Our goal is to provide you with a healthy, well-cared-for piglet while protecting the herd we work so hard to maintain. Contact us

Why do you track pedigree and inbreeding coefficients so closely? +

We plan every pairing using pedigree analysis to keep litters genetically diverse and healthy, rather than breeding on convenience alone. You can see the bloodlines behind our foundation herd on the Kune Kune page.
