Holding Pigs!! Are oats okay?

[mhumphreys09]

Help!! We are usually pushing pigs to make weight for our fair. This year our pigs gained like crazy and now we are holding like crazy! We have 40 days until weigh in - only 25# to work with! Right now we are giving them oats and Purina Fitter 35 in two feedings/day. The oats are whole oats - not rolled (like oatmeal we would eat). We are going to add Purina Depth Charge. Does anyone have any magic formula to hold daily gain to 1/2 lb/day?

If you are using purina products-post this under purina feed talk and the Purina feed specialist will post answer. He gets back really quickly and is very helpful.

What's your pig's fill, flank, cover and muscle like? Does the pig need to increase any of these or just maintain?
