I have a hamp that is very muscular but a little to lean. I want to know what I can use to add a little cover on her but not compromise the muscle

Bring down the protein down 1-2%, mix pure corn oil in your feed, and top dress it with mooremans moorfat, or powerup. This will give your pig good finish, as well as keeping structural soundness and overall appearance. I also suggest keep a close eye on feed intake, and feed this mixture twice a day around 4.5 lbs at each feeding. If the swine eats too much of the mixture, you will have too much finish, and loose your structural soundness. Remember it takes 3.5 to 4 lbs of feed intake for swine to gain 1lb of body weight, thats putting 2lbs of body weight a day on, how many days to your final show?

Depending on how long till your show and the weight of the pig, I would recomend 5-6lbs. of Honor L200 16% with .5 - 1lb. of powerfuel. But also keep this in mind that energy fuels growth and by increasing the energy you should also increase weight gain.
