Help holding...KGB

[hannah24]

KGB I have 2 barrows that weigh 270 with 20 days til weigh in limit is 280. Just contemplating on which approach to use in holding them successfully without falling apart. I was thinking about doing fitter 35 as a complete feed because they could use some trimming, but scared it will make them gain too much and screw myself. So my question is, fitter 35 as a complete feed, powerfill 3lbs a day plus depth charge, or i also have oat groats and wheat mids or s'more fill? What would you do?

If they need trimmed up and they can only gain 0.5 lb/day (280 - 270) / 20 days = 0.5 lb/day.

Feed:
(Total daily feed; divide into 2 equal meals ..... Hand feeding twice per day):
High Octane Fitter 35. 3 lb
High Octane Depth Charge 8 oz

What happens if you add more of a product such as ultrafull or depth charge to help satisfy the pig's hunger.

[kgb]

If it's Ultra Full, the pig is going to gain faster.

Thank you KGB. Didnt see your post until now. We are at 286 and 290 with 11 days left and the limit is 280.....they are currently on powerfill 1.5lbs, 4oz depth charge and 2 cups wheat mids for a filler 2x a day. Is this going to keep me from gaining too much to be able to cut a few at the end plus their hauling loss. Also will smore fill make them gain or can I use it as a filler to help not fall apart?
