Re: Stiff in the hind end

It could be. More than likely it’s structural if he started after being put on concrete. Get some Therma Flex and mix it 50:50 with water in a spray bottle. Twice a day spray his shoulders top down and to the ground. Spray his top from shoulders back. And spray from his hip loin junction everything ...

Re: KGB, feed advice?

I’m sorry for the late response. I quit checking this site due to no traffic. Yes Powerfill and 819 will work (2 lb of each per day). When adding Heavy Weight reduce the 819 by the same amount of Heavy Weight you add. Just add Depth Charge in addition to what you are feeding as Depth Charge is a fil...

Re: GOLDEN TICKET INFO.... KGB

Re: FFA - Hampshire Barrow Diet

If he’ll eat that much of each yes. Decrease the base feed by the same amount of supplement(s) you increase.

Re: Need to Hold HARD! Help!

But “padding” I’m assuming you are talking about fat cover. If so, feed:

(Total daily feed; divide into 2 equal meals):
High Octane Fitter 35. 3 lb
High Octane Depth Charge. 8 oz

He should gain about 0.3 lb per day or about 5-6 lb in 19 days.
