I would welcome that approach but overfeeding and selecting for paternal traits as well as small frame size is a huge factor. Barrows are not sows yet judges continually select breeding gilts that cannot be distinguished from cm males unless they urinate. Also when we leveled them from nose to tailhead we screwed up the breeding and parturition process. Very few can mate naturally without help because the angles are wrong and birth has the same issues.
