Pasterns
Have a barrow weighing 100-110 pounds that is mega heavy boned! His pastern set is ideal right now but know the concern of one being so heavy boned that they get a little weak there is a possibility! Is there anything you can feed or give him to 'lift' him up a little? Or trim his feet a certain way? Thanks in advance!
Re: Pasterns
Your best bet is to make sure one of the 'big boys' judges your show or volunteer to provide about 4 inches of shavings for the showring!
Re: Pasterns
You will probably hear about Bo-Se at some point. A pig that is short Selenium will commonly have weak pasterns and if that is the cause an injection of Bo-Se will strengthen their pasterns. If it is structural it won't fix it.
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.

Re: Pasterns
pastern trouble is genetic therefore the problem has been intensified by selection or better yet, the lack of or just not knowing any better by these experts
Re: Pasterns
I realize this is an old thread...is the BoSe injection a 1 time injectection? Thanks!
