Holding Young Pigs

Post by Macs B » Thu Jan 08, 2015 1:05 pm

KGB or any others...need some quick advice. The kid's project animals have a maximum weight for tagging of 150 lbs on 24 JAN 15. Currently the two hamp crossbreds are 137 and 140. Both are averaging right at 2 PPD on free feed HSC 709 with a 20% ground corn additive. We'll need to hold them to no greater than 150 pounds by 24 JAN. Any suggestions?

Take them off the self feeder and feed 2 3/4 lb 709 and 1 lb Champion Drive per day.

Worked like a champ, weighed the pigs and they all came in at a pound or two under. Thanks for the help.
