Sexing Would adding a baby boy to a heard of 3 ladies be a bad idea?

[GothCavyMom]

I currently have three girls in my herd. Ive been really wanting to add a fourth to complete the number, but most of the pigs being sold around my area are specifically boys only. Do you think it would cause drama if I didn't get another female and got a boy instead? I never mixed genders together, and im assuming maybe because he would be younger it would possibly make it easier? But im not sure and wouldn't want to make a bad mistake, please help! (we would get him spayed as well).

You'd have to wait until he's several months old to neuter him, and then he has to be kept away from the ladies for at least four weeks afterward --GP sperm are VERY hardy!

Many shelters will neuter the small pets. Check pet finder to see if any are in your area and check the infor of the pet to see if they fixed it. this is an example. https://www.petfinder.com/small-furry/male-number-1-44492678/sk/cando/prairie-pooches-rescue-sk29/
