For a pig that small, I'm thinking our PRELUDE 309 first...one bag per pig. Then transition to the new Showpig 509 (if you live in TX, OK, LA, and parts of AR and MS).

Feed one bag of 509 and then transition to Showpig 709. I suggest feeding 709 until at least 100 lbs. If the pig is radically muscled and you can tell it might be tough to soften it up a bit, or lay down fat cover then transition to Finale 809.

** The PRELUDE 309 for a pig that small is for the medication (CTC and Denagard, respiratory and intestinal protection).

We live in Fl so what could we feed in place of the 509?
