While it's up on the boom of the picker, they caponize (neuter) the boar. Then they keep it in a pen for 3 weeks and feed it grain and surplus vegetables before butchering.

The meat that I sampled was somewhat gamy, but it actually tasted something between regular pork and beef. It didn't smell anything offensive, though. Just regular barbecued meat.
