Same with wolves eventho I find boars more profitable. Also if you don't need more meat or scraps right now you can just stop feeding them and they will just stop reproducing but they won't die.

You only need a single two star boar to start. Breed it and it will pop out clones of itself or whatever boar you breed it with. Some will be two stars. Cull the boars who are not two stars. Before long, all your boars are two star.
