I have a 300 pound KuneKune sow that is in love with our 80 pound 6 month old boar.   When can they be safely put together.   Right now, she is interested in nothing but him.  He is interested in meal time.

I just looked it up and a couple sources say that most breeds of pigs are ready to breed at 6-8 months. So I'd say you could let them have at it pretty soon now. Animals aren't quite as concerned with age differences as humans are lol.
