Just remember to de-tusk him every six months or so. Boars can be gentle as anything, but an accidental glancing blow can rip your leg open, or do similar damage to your sows.

i have wire that i needed to trim a rams odd shape horn wen it was rubbing his face so that must be the same stuff. do u just cut off the top then? is it not painful?
