Weight on pigs

Post by Mozingo4 » Wed Dec 28, 2016 7:02 pm

I have two pigs weighing in at 127 lbs and 145 lbs. I have 17 days till my next show, and both pigs have to weigh at least 180 lbs. I have been increasing my feed and feeding several times a day since my last show. Both pigs are great eaters but it seems that the pounds just aren't sticking with them. What can I do to get them to gain weight fast and keep the lbs on?!?!?

Have you deformed them lately? Purina Heavy weight definitely increases their appetite and puts weight on.
