the pigs you are comparing your hog to weigh about 270 and are finished you are far from that right now so that explains that problem. I would get as much feed in it as you can and feed paylean at 9grams a day. Thats about all you can do right now. I like to use powerfill when pushing at about 4-6lbs a day to really fill them out and get some extra weight on them.
