piglet castration

piglets that are not castrated will result in a lower quality finished product.  they will waste a lot of their energy on testosterone driven sexnanigans, as opposed to devoting it towards becoming delicious tasting, like their castrated brethren.  castration eliminates the dreaded “boar taint”, which is the off putting scent associated with full balled boars.  in most cases i find this “taint” to be non existent in our heritage breed, mixed diet, pasture raised hogs, but  on occasion it has been observed.   

and lastly, castration stops them from raping their sisters.  so, all around, i’d say it’s a good call.
