Hamp with too much muscle?

Post by meteor1222 » Tue Apr 15, 2008 2:08 pm

I have a hamp gilt that is developing so much muscle between her legs that it is causing her to hold a back leg up when she stands and she kicks her legs out to walk. Her structure is great but her hips are just not wide enough to account for the amount of ham muscle.

Will she grow into it?
Is this a problem that she won't outgrow?

All ideas welcome, thanks

Put her on a good gilt developer. Something that is 16 or 17 percent protein and high in fat.
