If I raise my gilts to 230 lbs can I breed the to my neighbors 2 year old boar. I was told yes as long as he does not get to heavy.

My husband used to raise pigs and said that they would breed big boars (1000 pounders) to the little gilts by setting up 3 bales of hay around the gilt, one on each side for the boar to support his weight on and one in front to keep the gilt still.
