Exploring the pasture
My girls are showing 3 pigs in about a week at the local fair for 4-H.
Last night I did a tape weight on the pigs....According to that they are UNDER the minimum weight allowed....
They are on an 18% protein mix right now...Does that need to be increased/decreased??? They have plenty of food scraps given to the daily, along with clean water, hay/straw, have mud wallows, and everything a pig could want....
Between the 3 pigs they are eatting roughly 50 pounds of feed a day.
They have been dewormed, even vet checked (required for the fair), and they are 100% happy and healthy pigs....
But I need to know if there is something I can give them to put on pounds quickly so that they make at least the minimum weight (need to gain about 20 pounds for that buy Thursday)....They can obvioulsy gain MORE...lol, but inorder to make the minimum they need to gain at least 20 more pounds.
I did make there area a bit smaller so they have less room to run around as someone else suggested that....
Any help would be WONDERFUL.....
Thanks
