Hi Guys,

So we finally got to introduced our first Boar after finishing his 6 weeks post-neuter wait. I took everyone out for some floor time. I see he's doing a great job intervening whenever our most dominate sow Chai gets into chattering matches with Mandu and Momo our bonded mama and daughter pair. He chatters at Chai and chases her off. My question is why do boars intervene in the first place? I think it's rather fascinating and i'm proud that he tries to stop any kind of hostilities.
 
I haven't heard anything about this before. I'm not sure whether it's something boars regularly do in herds but it sounds great for you. Maybe he just has a peacekeeper personality. I'm interested to know too.
