Houston piggy!

Post by ashash » Sat Dec 12, 2009 12:42 pm

I have a piggy that i just got like last friday. he has to be ready to go to Houston. Any ideas on what i should feed him? Right now he gets like 6 pounds a day of 11256. I give him 3 in the morning and then 1 after school and then 2 at like 4:30ish 5.

Are you giving him a gallon?what i mean is a coffe can.If you are he will get to big. you only need to give him 2 gallons of feed a day,one in morining and one a night when he get to 190 start feeding him some cruise control it is a supplemnt that holds him back.Dont waste your time getting beat pupls and oats ,ect it already have in there. look up esential feeds to see if you have one close to you. Wiege him every week.

Are you sure you are feeding 11256? You have over 90 days till Houston show and 11256 contains paylean. I would think if you continue to feed paylean this long you will experience many prolong effects of paylean over too long a time period. Look at some of the grower rations that do not have paylean in them. Match your muscle to your protein and you should do just fine. Good Luck!

If you use a fat product called sumo you will have a great time feeding
