I am in Homerville- near medina- but I did talk to Dave from Town and Country Feed Store in west salem ohio. He was the one who suggested the oats and either Champion Drive or powerfill.

As you can see my pigs are not the best genetically and I said the good one has the bad leg which I got bad luck with. That didn't show when I picked him out. I'm just afraid that if I don't ho...
