Help with diet

Post by Jdelgado » Wed Oct 31, 2018 7:55 pm

Hey guys, I have a nice July 18th cross with heavy muscle weighing at 100lbs as of today. Validation is on the 17th of Nov and show is January 24th.

I am currently feeding 3lbs a day of 872 lindners. I would like her to go into show weighing about 250. Who can help me with what to feed and how much!?

Without seeing any pics you may want to think about 685 if the pig is heavy muscled. Depending on how hard or soft you could mix 685/686 or 685/698. 685/698 is an awesome mix that will maintain, grow, add depth and dimension. That without seeing what you got. We have used those combos a lot with much success. You may even be able to go back to. 611/686 or 685/611/698 split 14 or so days before the show to get that pop and overall expression. If the pigs phenotype allows you to do that.

When using the 698/685 do you recommend me dropping the oats?
