Runs for grass time...

[Louise3pigs]

If I bought a huge wooden run for grass time for my pigs (both neutered males) and divided it down the middle with rigid weld mesh, so I could have my boars in one side and sows in the other side, would the boys stare fighting because they can smell, sniff at, and have through-bar contact with the girls?

Yes, I have already asked similar in another post, and yes, my boars have had their post-op check after their neutering......

That’s a good idea!

That’s a good idea!

Thank you! Do you think the boars will fight being that close to the sows though?

Hi, you run the risk of upsetting the boars bond with that set up.
Better would be to put boars on grass first and then after they have gone back in, put the girls out separately.

Bingo! Thank you so much, I was wondering if it was too close for comfort.

I wouldnt risk it to be honest.

They shouldn’t fight , but I’d watch them when they first to go in and break up a fight if needed. Xx
