Okay so here the 20200529_075830(0).jpgboar he not showing testicals yet so not really trusting the 8month thing that's when they are suppose to become fertile. (So kind expect to see something there) then this is the largest one suppose to be a year old and possibly bred. 20200528_194028_001.jpg

They may be small or stunted due to a variety of reasons. He might not have wormed them as needed. He might not have fed them enough. Even if they stay small, their genetics may produce a bigger sized pig.

Unless that breed is different from any other breeds of hogs I have ever seen, then there is something definitely wrong if there are no signs of testicles. Baby boar pigs have "balls" at birth. If you don't see any it might be something to be concerned about. A boar controls the temp of the testicles by how much they "stick out" and they are more prominent in the heat, but you will ALWAYS see them on a male hog. Again, I don't know this breed.... but cannot imagine that they are that much different.
