Right now, the dealer gave us this solution to add to water. So we are going to just bottle water them, and give it a few days
How long till we add the supplements?

Another thing we have done in the past is to skip a feeding once a week never the same day or time. Pigs can be creatures of habit, and sometimes you just have to change things up.

She seems to like to eat at night the most. The feeder I have she likes to use as a restroom, and she likes being fed out of a feeder the most.
So I've just fed her out of a bowl and she eats it. But she seems to like to eat at night when I'm not around. Which leaves two problems: She cannot possible eat all day if she only likes to eat at night and She cannot eat all day even if she wanted to because the bowl isnt big enough to be filled all day. With the Power Fuel, Power Fill and Regular Feed, how much of each should I mix into the bowl? Thanks Again! Weigh in tomorrow !

WEIGH IN meaning the three day interval weigh in, not the actual one.

I've been feeding her two scoops of feed, two scoops of fill, and one scoop of fuel.
2-3 times a day, and she is eating it all. I think the deworming had a lot to do with her eating habits, along with all of your help! If I should be doing something differently, please let me know. Thanks !

Hey everyone sorry I have not been on here for awhile to update everyone, but both pigs have been doing good. My pig I plan on taking for show is around 200-210. We have approx. three weeks till weigh-in. I am feeling good, but she isnt very lengthy. SoI was thinking it would be hard to get her around 260, without her looking too thick/fat. Any ideas? I also have a minor problem with her neck fat, it isnt huge.. But I dont want it getting any worse, any help? Thank You Again Everyone for YOUR HELP! You are all responsible for this great happening that has been going on as well
