Pig 101
Gilt: young female pig, has not had a litter yet
Barrow: young male pig, usually castrated shortly after birth
Sow: older female momma pig
Boar: male daddy pig (not castrated)

Boars and sows make gilts and barrows. Gilts and barrows are the feeder pigs who are sent to market after about 6 months, when they weigh 220-250 lbs. Yes... Suzy Q (aka Oscar) will weigh about 240 in 6 months, if fed properly.

Here is a slew of information if you wish to learn more.
