Holding a Pig.

Post by LisaDiane » Mon Mar 15, 2021 7:41 pm

Just purchased a spot. Have had a lot of trouble making weight in the past so got a pretty big one this time. Is it better to hold right now or wait to 150 lbs? 86 lbs, 120 days to weigh-in.

It can average gaining 1.6 lb/day (280 - 86) / 120 days = 1.62 lb/day.

Wait until the pig weighs at least 150 lb.
