Has anyone found a reliable figure that removing X hogs is like removing Xxx hogs over a year ?
Say if it was a factor of 10, then removing 25 would equal 250 over a year factoring in reproduction. Averaged across boars and sows, I think 10 is a good estimate. Big sows are going to have 2 litters per year and the first litter females could potentially breed once in the same year.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

They say three one boar and two sows could possibly turn into 100 in a year.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

The last conference I listened to said we need to kill 70% of the sounder to break even every year
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

They say three one boar and two sows could possibly turn into 100 in a year. Not really possible 2 sows and one boar would produce on average about 70 if all pigs born in that year were female, that won’t happen. 2 sows would have a total of 20 in a year, the first litter of 10 if it were all female would produce a litter each for a total of 50

So Maybe 7x the number of hogs ? Just trying to find a way to SWAG a number of potential hogs.

If they will drop a litter of 12. 13 will survive. At least 13

I would think part of it depends on the soil productivity and habitat management......Some of the worst hog sign I've seen is around Fitzpatrick where the pig problem starts hitting prairie soil.....They are taking them off a few properties in crazy numbers.....I would imagine the reproduction rate of those hogs is a little better than the average.....Just a guess though
