Hello,
I have showen pigs for 3 years in 4-H. I say pour the feed to them right at the beginning because it will be harder to get them to eat when the weather warms up.

feed them great early on as it will be easier to cut back the feed when they get bigger than it is to push.

everyone all has great points,
but i would find someone that is knowledgable about hogs in your area
that would be the best way to go, that way they can help you and your pigs alot better;
im really glad though that your getting into showing
and lots of luck to you
