Feed options

Post by cracklethepiglet » Fri Feb 24, 2017 8:41 pm

I was given the following feed options:
Show-Rite 17.5%
Show 100 grower
Show 100 finisher
Linder 685
Linder 611 scud missile
I will be feeding 50 lb. pigs to market weight and selling them for meat. Which would you choose?
THEY ARE SHOW PIGS.

None of these options are very good ones. You will need a much more economically priced option to make it worth your time

If you are not going to show them you should just use the basic grower and finisher from your local feed mill or feed store. There is no need to pay for premium show feeds for butcher hogs
