My experience with feeding fitter 52 for an extended period of time is you need to ad a fat source. It will ad muscle but it will reduce your cover.

Okay that is what i was afraid of. It is the first rib that needs it the most. I will start feeding that and see what happens. She is good everwhere except right behind the shoulders. Thankyou

It they were mine. As long as they are cleaning it all up and not wasting it i would give them what they all they will eat right now. They will slow down when it gets hot

I was wondering what is the best way to fill out the front chest area right behind the front shoulders without slowing the rate of gain. The pig is currently 150 pounds with 90 days till our fair. Currently feeding 719 and a half pound of champion drive.

In my opinion i would find some cheap semen and make a batch of feeders to sell. When you leave a sow open all summer they tend to put on extra weight. They are also harder to find in heat when you want to breed them. It also sometimes reduces the litter size of her next litter. To me it is better t...

Exercise is good for them in my opinion. Mine run in a pasture until i put them in a farrowing pen. The exercise helps build up their stamina for farrowing. You dont want fat gilts when they farrow, or their will be problems.

Also keep feeding up to show day

It is a slow process. It is a gradual change. Start it slow and gradually increase it until you see results. Some pigs take alittle while to get used to eating it.

I am not sure if there is anything that will specifically ad more muscle to just the front end. I think that is all genetics. What you could try is a product like depth charge from purina that will expand the ribs and make it look wider. Different bands have different products that do this also.

Meant wouldn't buy again

Generally believe that there is no difference between regular priced semen and overrun semen. I bred 7 sows this year all with overrun from 3 different studs, and they all took on the first try. Reputable studs know if they didn't semd good semen you would buy again.

If you are worried about weight gain dont limit her eating. Give her all she will eat in 20 minutes. Some pigs take more than 6 pounds to gain. There are plenty of product you can use to shape your pigs when you get closer to your end weight goal. Easier to slow them down than make them grow

When was the last time you wormed him. Also try using a different bedding. Could be allergic. With all those antibiotica i am wondering if it isnt one of those things.

I dont know lindner products, but my advice for you would be to feed him what he cleans up before the next feeding and keep him growing till you get closer to end goal weight. In my experience it is easier to hold if too heavy than put weight on if light.

21 days is just the average cycle. I have had them cycle at 17 days or 24 days. You will have to watch. Best way is to monitor for a couple cycles
