I just picked up my 2 Yorkshire gilts yesterday -- hurray!!
I have them on a complete starter-grower feed (they weight about 40lbs ea) and according to Storey's Guide to Raising Pigs they are to be fed 1 lb of the starter-grower a day. But my sweet little Rose and Blanche still seem to be really hungry! Is this enough for them or should I be giving them more? Also, does anyone have a good plan on how to build a nice trough w/dividers so they don't argue over their feed? Thanks!!
