Ideally a sow should litter for the first time before she reaches one year of age, as the cartlidge gets stiffer, making birth more difficult. Therefore, its usually the done thing to put the sow with the boar at around 6 months of age, this is to allow for two cycles in case he doesn't get lucky the first time  I assume that you have an outlet for all the babies? |
