Was told to use a tall fronted, big shouldered, moderate framed, boar on a Phenom x Maverick gilt.
Suggestions please?

How do you recommend introducing feed and water at a show to avoid this problem?

Could go to NSR web sight and find info for Belton show and there will be a list of exhibitors. May see a name of someone you recognize that is going and ask them or someone from your area you could ask to share pen space.
Praying it all works out.

Do think pulsing it would work.
Hate to admit, had a York barrow just a really fast grower. Had him On time out for 7 weeks straight and really looked pretty fresh at the show.( In addition to the other two barrows in previous post)

Pigs weighted 200 when I started them (2) on time out.

Straight time out for 3.5 weeks
Adg was just under a pound to just over a pound.
I try to always weight full.
Transitioned on to and off of with no issues(feeding Moormans on both sides)

Pigs eat about 5% of body weight till they reach 100 lbs

From 100 lbs on they eat about 2.5% of body weight
50-75 2.85lbs
75-125 4.46 lbs
125-150 5.58 lbs
150-200 6.35 lbs
200-225 6.69 lbs
225-250 6.80 lbs
250-270 7.30 lbs
Info I had cut and pasted from other articles

First time daughter had used new whip. Loop broke and popper gone. When I went to put away silver tip on end had also fallen off. Back for showmanship finals w/ new whip same make ect. At least it still has the metal end. Just looking for one well made that can hold up to one show. All beatings occu...

Having a hard time finding a whip that is made well enough to last more than a sow or two. Any suggestion?

Used it last two years.
Liked the results.
Recommend it.

Purchased a pig on line. Family I bought from will have some pigs at Field of Dreams sale in Lafayette, In this weekend. I live in Bryan, Ohio, NW corner of the state. He could deliever to that sale. I can make the trip but though if someone was going down and would be traveling back to general area...

A couple not even close Yorks you can look at in the Brattain online sale dated 2/22/2015.

Used timeout with three pigs last show season. We held them earlier weight wise, but worked well for us helping to manage their weight.

At show feed s'more
6 cups s'more fill + 1 gal milk: mix and let set over night and feed day of show
Feed over course of couple hours before show.
