Depends on what they're eating. If they've been eating acorns, they'll be pretty strong. On grass or barley, they're awesome unless they're big and stinky.
A 200 lb. dry sow on grass or barley is fine eating. I'd pass up a wall hanger boar to shoot one of them any day. They're leaner, so I have 10% domestic pork fat added to the sausage. The hams are awesome..
I've had good boars, but they were young and below 250 lbs.
A big stinky boar might be good for sausage, usually a 50/50 mix.
