Thanks for the advice we will try that and hope for the best.

I have 26 days to keep a barrow that weighs 266 under 290 for the show. What should I do to hold back his weight?

Giving the pig a hit under the chin always works, but it also helps to make the pig comfortable to have the head in the air. We have always raised feeders and water nipples, they get use to having there head up more and it becomes more natural.

Just curious to hear, how long before the show are you starting to walk them?
