I do not know, maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in on that one. These are barrows on the males from what I am seeing so I need a boar before anything happens. Which I am actively seeking right now.
Sounds like if they do it won't matter then until you want it to in theory. Are you planning on going Berkshire or mieshan or something totally different?

Do I see some of them going in the shelter? See, they needed to know that "it wouldn't trap them or attack them or something" !!!!!!! Being raised somewhat "wild" as in out loose and all, their natural instincts kick in to be wary of change and different things.

We always fed until they cleaned it up in about 20 minutes... mostly I started with small ones though... so increased as they cleaned it up and wanted more as they grew... foraging helps them to put on good lean meat and not so much fat, and they get alot out of the dirt and stuff... although you don't have any growing grass/weeds or anything yet...

Nice job with the catwalk section!

My son has some sections of catwalk, he’s going to give me one to make a drag with, to knock down those pesky crawdad mounds.

AC, then heater. Sounds like Texas, only more cold.
