how would you introduce weaners gilts to older gilts/sows? keep them fenced apart for a few weeks then hope for the best? or keep 2 separate groups longterm?

If introducing as a group I would have fencing between them, let them get used to each other over the fence.  When integrating I would try move them all into a new field if one was available.  I would expect some scrapping until they establish a hierarchy
