Let her shed first then breed her next feed her, better egg production (just my opinion ).

I pair them up as soon as the female has her first meal out of brumation. If you wait for a shed, you can and most likely will miss her first ovulation. Most female hogs do not have a pre-ovulatory shed. Many will not shed until their pre-lay shed.
If I were you, I would start pairing them up now.
