I don't know if this is common knowledge. I accidentally discovered that boars will roam around to places where there is grass, and they will avoid areas that have been tamped bare with a hoe.

I have a pretty good sized pig ranch that sort of stretches around my main house. One day I noticed that all the boars had been gathered for days up at one end. That end was full of grass while the other end was totally barren. So I went around and did some re-seeding, and the boars have all spread out again.

I checked the wiki on Boars... Is there any evidence that Boar's like grass? Can't find any. They hate light, but not what they are standing on.

Nice I will have to check that out. Could be a good way to keep them from jamming up against the walls in my dirt pens.
