well close but no cigar. the judge said that our barrow was exceptional but didn't have enough cover. i've never had a barrow that i couldn't finish out. thanks for all the great advice. i don't think that if i had to do it all over again with this particular pig that i would have done it any different. this pig just wouldn't put on any cover. a special thanks to hampy.

Man that sucks I know how you feel though Ive had that problem a couple times. The more muscle you put on some of these pigs the harder it gets to fill them out.
