809 or 909

KGB which one do you recommend feeding show pigs? Fed a little of the 809 this year but primarily fed the 909 and hogs did fantastic just wondering which you like or prefer and why? Thanks.

I like both of them. They are designed for different uses. It's really not a question of which one I like better, it's a question of what your pig(s) need.

809 is designed to be fed from about 75 lb and up to fairly hard muscled pigs that probably are going to need help softening up. It does a great job following 709.

909 is a totally different type of feed. 809 is a high fat feed, while 909 is a high carbohydrate feed. 809 is also a crumble or pellet (depending upon the region) and 909 is a meal. 909 can also be fed to pigs from 40 lb and up.

So, I like both and both have a place.
