Feed for depth of body/side

What feeds do you all feed to increase side and depth of body? We have used stuffed, depth charge, and ultra full with no luck.

Ultra Full works for us like a charm. We start feeding small amounts around 75-80lbs. IMO You really need to feed it over the course of a project and increase it as you go. That belly drop happens over time and is really hard to get very quickly.

When you say depth of side, of you are talking about through the heartgirth (just behind shoulders)... NOTHING is going to do that except genetics. The pig either has it or doesn’t have it.

BTW. Depth Charge is for width (rib shape). Ultra Full helps the flank area.
