I would recommend using Honor Show Feeds. I raise Showpigs and work for a Coop that sells Honor. Over the years we have sold different show feeds but none perform like Honor. Most importantly the Nutritionist they have I have a lot of respect for his knowledge and he is always willing too help with advice.

I have always had success with Kent Leanium, you can get it complete or the suppliment that you mix with corn
Does anyone know what sound looks like anymore?

We use Showtec and then Honor specialty feeds. Since you're new (and welcome by the way), I highly recommend the guy on here, KGB is his name, and he is always very helpful with Honor products. He's been a lifesaver for us.
