Yes. Also, keep a place for the babies to go that the mother can because mom will accidentally lay on her babies. Wean them from mom at 3-5 weeks. At this age, pigs are of a size and age to fend for themselves under average farm conditions. It must be remembered that age of weaning is an integral part of the breeding program and to reduce weaning age will involve changes in the mating and farrowing programs. The sow’s milk production has fallen dramatically by 5 weeks, therefore, it is uneconomic to feed the piglets via the sow’s milk beyond this stage. However, in order to maintain piglet growth rates, they must receive additional feed. Fortunately, by this age and weight, pigs are becoming accustomed to dry feed and can better adjust to temperature changes and stress. However, a high standard of hygiene must still be maintained. Where a suitable environment can be maintained and producers have the expertise, they can progressively reduce the weaning age to a point where they feel they can still gain the necessary benefit of the pigs undergoing an earlier weaning.

be aware that wild hogs carry the disease pseudorabies. It is a federal law that all pigs with this be destroyed. Don't think I would want to get involve with this as this disease is fatal and domestic hogs are ripe for this infection.
