Re: Needing to fill
Linders has a product called TNT - helps expand them in the middle. I fed TNT and depth charge together this year and really liked the results. The hogs inhaled the TNT!

Re: Being more competitive
Unfortunately every judge is different and has different opinions on what they like. Some like them more muscled, some prefer more finish. We have always tried to buy two similar pigs to raise, but this year we opted to buy two completely different pigs. One was more square made and muscular, while ...

Re: moorbody/moorfat
I believe Moorbody is to help expand their middle to make them look fuller. Will not add cover. I have never used Moorman's - don't have access to it. But, I have had excellent results with High Octane Heavy weight. Hogs always love it!

How quickly can you remove extra cover?
I have a barrow and a gilt weighing 245 and 260. Our show is in 10 days. They have been on paylean for one week along with 8 oz heavy weight per day, 16% feed and TNT. I feel they have too much cover and need to be trimmed up. If I just remove or reduce the Hvy Wt. now, will I see a difference in 10...

Re: Weight on pigs
Have you deformed them lately? Purina Heavy weight definitely increases their appetite and puts weight on.

Re: Unbalanced barrow - need advice
We have two others that are doing well, and look good. Should we just throw in the towel on this one and start feeding for butcher, or keep plugging along since we are only 30 days out from the show? He seems to walk well, and enjoys getting out of the pen and walking.

Re: Unbalanced barrow - need advice
He just shifts from one foot to the other while eating and sits a lot.

Unbalanced barrow - need advice

We have 30 days to our show - He weighs 188 and is eating 4.5 lbs 16% feed a day along with 1 lb. Champion drive. ...

What's the protein and fat content? Could she handle Paylean at the end? Please provide more info. so we can gi...

Re: Bolder rib and fore rib?
What about Depth Charge from Purina - that is what I just started using - will it do the trick?

Re: First Time showing Gilts
Make sure you are weighing at the same time of day - empty vs full pig will throw off your ADG.
