Bolder rib and fore rib?

Post by ScottN » Sun Dec 04, 2016 9:29 pm

Is there any way I can make my pig bolder in the rib and fore rib? The judge told us that this weekend and I don't have any idea how to do that. Thanks for any tips.

If you have a little time i would try and get some wide open by essential. That will give you more spring of rib.

What about Depth Charge from Purina - that is what I just started using - will it do the trick?

Wide open has worked best for us. We have tried depth charge but we have troubles getting some hogs to eat it. Depth Charge is a great product but some hogs don't like it.

Thanks Hamp4, we have a little over 2 months. Will that be enough time for it to work?

That is plenty of time for wide open to work.
