eating good but not gaining

Post by nwohiogirl » Tue Jul 12, 2011 11:29 pm

Hi yall
I have a cross gilt that has stoped gaining weight.
When we first got her back in april she was one of the bigger piglets and was doing great. Now even the smallest piglet we got is bigger than her.
Her brothers and sisters are all 100- 125 lbs (estimate) and she is around 75-80 lbs. she's skinny as a rail too.
We feed the local grainery feed and raw milk too so i know she should be getting plenty of protein to gain and she has the same space as all the others to walk and exercise.
Any suggestions for what to do?
Thanks so much!
My Goal~ to love what i'm doing... with the people and critters i love
