Pigs are pack animals. If they are the same size and get along, then they will be fine. It is difficult to introduce a new animal to the pack. If you have a few pigs of similar size, keep them together so that they don't get bored and destructive. Reasons to separate pigs are quarantine, fighting, and farrowing.

Do you put the boy guinea pig in separate cages?
Yes, because if you just want a playmate for the boar (boy) and it's a sow (girl), they will breed and keep on breeding until the sow gets tired. And there will be hundreds of baby guinea pigs which will be too much to handle. So unless you want to breed them (only a few times) then you don't need to, but if not, keep them FAR away. Keep boars in a separate room from sows because if they are in the same room, the boar will smell the sow and try to get to her, and if there are two boars, they will fight until there is serious injury or sadly, death.
Why did most of the hog owners keep four or five old barrows to run with the sows?
Most hog owners kept four or five old barrows with the sows to help manage the breeding process and maintain a stable environment. The old barrows, being castrated males, could prevent aggressive behavior and reduce stress among the sows, promoting better health and productivity. Additionally, having multiple barrows allowed for more effective mating as they could help stimulate the sows and ensure successful breeding. This practice also helped in maintaining a calm and controlled atmosphere on the farm.
