I recently picked up a few barrows for a upcoming show. One of them is really growing at a rapid pace. He is 10 weeks and 4 days old and already 105 pounds. He was the largest of the litter from the start. The other barrow that is a litter mate is only 77 pounds but was one of the smaller of the lit...

Something to try might be swithching him from a powdered fat such as MoorFat to a liquid fat supplement. I prefer to use a product called Dyne. It comes in a liquid carmel like state and I like to tone it down by filling the bottom of a water bottle with it(maybe 1/4") then filling the rest of...

It definitely effected the attitude of our barrow this year. He was already cranky before but he got really bad. About 4 days off before the show made him much better. It didn't effect our gilt at all. We didn't have any trouble with either having dry, cracked hoofs but I have heard it can cause that.

I have purchased the nipple and adapter to hook up directly to our hose but I'm looking for suggestions to attach the nipple to the fence and get it at the correct angle for the pigs. Right now I have the hose, adapter and nipple pushed through a 2 inch PVC elbow to give it a bend that is attached t...
