How to keep a pig looking fresh while holding?

Post by Wiscofarmer8 » Mon Apr 10, 2017 8:16 am

How do you do you keep a pig looking fresh while holding them back? Last year I planned on taking my county fair pig to state fair. I had to hold him for about 4 weeks. During the show at state fair the judge expressed that my pig was dry. For the 4 weeks that I was holding him I had him on Showpig 709, fitter 35 and paylean. Is there other HSC products I should be using?
