275 5 days til weigh in

Post by sparklesmom » Tue Aug 08, 2017 7:29 am

At 275 with 5 days to weigh in

Been feed in per day
2 lbs 709
2 lbs powerfill
1 lb champion drive
8 oz depth charge
4 oz heavyweight to increase fat cover
Gain was 2.5 lbs per day on this
Limit 285. Will not lose much on trip only 10 min away

Plan on feeding 3 lbs powerfill per day to give me a little wiggle room
Does that sound ok?

Show is 2 days after weigh in so can feed extra heavyweight and champion drive then

Add some Depth Charge to keep the pig filled out.

By the way, even if you are only 10 minutes away that doesn't mean you have to drive straight to the fairgrounds. Drive around a little (an hour or so).

Good idea but other pig is at 220 which is at lowest limit so I don't want him to lose an ounce!!

He's eating all the 909 he will eat
1 lb champion drive
And 12 oz heavyweight

It's been a stressful summer!!!

Consider feedback g the light pigs Paylean 900. 1 oz per day for faster growth.
