I've raised a few hogs from piglets and i had 2 in particular that grew crazy big cutters and it was in my opinion 100% due to the fact that I raised both of them just like dogs and they each ate a scoop of 27% protein dog food everyday on top of hog feed and corn. Those two both grew bigger than my others and both grew huge cutters. I believe diet has more to do with it than any other factor regardless of boar/Barr or sow. I cant say that i think the age you cut them will directly affect tusk growth. If you cut em and release them where you caught them then they are still going to be eating the same diet, they may eat a bit more than before but not enough to affect anything in my opinion. I honestly believe that barrs don't get so fat just because they eat more. They get fat because they aren't doing anything the rest of their lives but eating, they ain't out fighting and roaming miles chasing tail, they are laying on a creek bank relaxing all day lol.
