Some years ago, a buddy and I castrated 4 large boars by getting them very drunk on rotgut vodka first. It worked, but was sure not easy...I would never allow a boar pig to grow very big before he got his little operation again.
I would guess the largest boar was about 450lbs, and they are incredibly strong, even when they are falling down drunk. We also tied them up with heavy wire before we began the work.
