Can you get a show pig from birth to 280lbs. In 155 days? If so how would you do it?

Yes, you can do it, but everything has to go right. Worm every 30 days. You are probably going to have to feed milk or replace or some other kind of food to get them to eat as much as possible. The problem is you might not like the end result because you won't be able to exercise as much as needed

Thx for your advice. That's what I thought as well! Unfortunately they are 2 days late on being born!

Depends on breed and feeding program. You can get a Duroc there easily. If your feeding crosses it will be a little harder but can be done if you are hand feeding, using a quality feed and supplement tile TrueGlo
