KGB HELP - Holding Weight/Lose pounds
Posted: Fri Feb 05, 2021 8:46 am
Good morning KGB
On 1/21 my show hog was 265.5. He had already been cut back on feed for our fair and was being fed 1# of Knights show pig 20% (Corn Dent grain, Soybean Meal 48%, Swine Mineral, Soy Oil) a day. A week ago I added Fitter 35 following the total ration it suggested. Yesterday I weighed him at 292. I have 20 days till weigh in and I don't want him to be over 300. Preferably If I can get him down into the 280's that would be best.
I am an FFA advisor and this is our chapter hog so I am not sure what caused this weight spike (possibly was given the 2#'s Fitter twice a day from the students showing him) but is there anything I can do? He LOOKS great but I just need him to drop some pounds.
Thanks so much!
