Need advice/opinion - Son's 4H pig

Post by Raisedinabarn » Thu Dec 27, 2018 8:17 pm

Good Evening yall!
This is my sons first year in 4H showing a pig. Our show is in early Feb. Currently our pig is on 4 oz Full Figure, 1 1/4 lb 685 and 1 1/4 698 per feeding. We tried to wet her feed, but she stopped eating for 2 days and only gained 1.1 pounds per day that week. Can yall give your opinion or any advice. We really appreciate it!

Depends on your pig really. What it weigh? What does it need to weigh. What's the max. When we start wet we use warm water and make it like oat meal. Then see what the pig likes wet or really wet. I've had them that would not do wet at all

Thanks for replying! I tried to post pics, but can't figure out how on this site.
She is 176 pounds currently and min for show is 200, max is 290. We took her to a jackpot show on 12/15 and judge said her butt was too big for body.
