  • New Zealand Boar Lines
    History and Bloodlines 101 History and Bloodlines 101 By Kathy Petersen, Virginia KuneKunes New Zealand Boar Lines Te Whangi: The first Willowbank (WB) Te Whangi was registration number 189. His name was Mr. Magoo and he was a black boar with both wattles. He was purchased from J. Te Whangi, who lived around Waitomo for $400 in 1978. Mr. Magoo passed away in 1988. I have been unable to locate pictures of him for this article. Te Whangi is represented in New Zealand, the UK and a healthy number of boars here in the USA. Willowbank Te Kuiti: purchased from John Wilson who lived near Waitomo in 1978. Kelly, a magnificent boar, started this line. Kelly was NZ 189a. He was a cream with two wattles pictured below. Kelly sired the first Te Kuiti boar line However, in 1993, Tutaki Gary produced Te Kuiti V. I am not sure how the Tutaki line produced the Te Kuiti. I could find nothing futher on the Te Kuiti line since 1993. Tutaki line was produced from the Ru boar line. I do not see how Te Kuiti line could be present in the USA unless further evidence comes to light. Willowbank Ru: He is NZ 51. He was from the North Island from Ru Kotaha who lived near Dannevirke, but the kune was thought to have come from the Opotiki area. He was a Black and white boar with no wattles. The Ru lines were created by using Pirihini Bastion NZ 363 x Jacobs Sow NZ A20. The Ru lines are in New Zealand, the UK and here in the USA.

A picture of the District is important, as it is these characteristics – environmental, economic, social and cultural, that have played a role in shaping the regulatory regime developed by Waitomo District Council. 1.3 This submission then goes on to address the five topic areas explored in the Commission’s Issues Paper being • Regulatory responsibilities of local government • Regulatory Variation and its need and importance • Allocation of regulatory roles • Adequacy of regulation-making processes • Assessment of regulatory performance 1.4 This submission does not seek to directly answer each of the 62 questions raised in the Issues Paper. Context 1.5 The Waitomo District encompasses 354,649 hectares of mostly rural land on the west coast of the Central North Island. The District is predominantly contained within the Waikato Region but a small part in the south-eastern corner of the District is within the Manawatu-Wanganui (Horizons) Regional Council’s jurisdiction. It is adjacent to the Otorohanga District to the north, Taupo District to the east and Ruapehu Districts to the south. 1.6 The usual resident population for the District was 9,441 for the 2006 census.
