What to feed what to feed....

Post by morganvogt99 » Wed Apr 20, 2016 9:41 am

I am a Junior in high school and feeding two gilts for my county fair and possibly an end of summer jackpot show. They are both 50-60 pounds and very similar and muscle makeup, they are wide and have the ribs to have a lot of depth. they are both pretty heavy muscled so I don't want protein to be any higher than 18% for the time being. I am open to anything I fed Kent last year but am open to anything and would love your advice.

What type of feeds can you get? Do you know people that could help you feed those products (family, friend, feed salesman, breeder, online, etc)?

If Kent is easy to obtain then stick with that. Kent's Perry Complete will do what you're needing. Call Travis Perry at Perry Swine Genetics and he will talk feeding programs with you. He has been a lot of help to me.
