redborneschool,Your statement about boars not being sexually active until 9 months is absolute rubbish. one of my boars who is now 7 fathered his first litter at just under 6 months. Recently I put a new gilt I had bought in with a couple of meat pigs a few weeks before they went to slaughter and 3 months 3 weeks 3 days later I had a suprise litter.
" How old are the gilts" Whats that got to do with anything, if you read Sally's post she knows of a saddleback had a litter at 25 weeks, also there is one on another forum had her first litter at 30 weeks.Don't make stupid statements that inexperienced keepers will take as gospel.
