Re: Heavyweight & ??? To gain fat cover

I found 819. I will get the champion drive. Still have self feeder in until tomorrow. Just because I need help moving it. They are cleaning up their pans.

Thank you! You have helped the fair mom immensely!

Re: Heavyweight & ??? To gain fat cover

We are feeding 719. I do not think I can get 819 here in town

Tomorrow 18 days out we will start hand feeding with what you suggested above for rations and add in the Paylean. We are not going to feed Champion drive. They are packing a lot of muscle. Weight is our issue.

Honor show chow in self feeder with heavyweight top dressed
At night 8oz heavyweight in milkshake with 2 quarts of feed. They clean their pans at night.
These pigs have high muscle so we have stayed away from Paylean.
