I currently have a 50lb barrow hamp that i will show in march. Right now i have him on Lindners 632 20%. At what stage during my feeding should i start to add supps? Would like to add more muscle an width if possible.

I would leave him on full feed till he reaches 150 to 175 and then start your hand feeding and introducing your supplements and I would leave him on the 632 and let him grow.

Thank you west-texas for your input. This is the first year that i feed lindners and i like the way he is taking to it.

You bet I have been feeding lindners for the past 4 years and can't complain our pigs have always done well.

What kind of supplements? I am new to this my son will show his first hog in March also.

Tinytornadoes what are you weighing now and how does your look if you can take and post a picture on here it would be really helpfull.

West-texas what does lindners scud missle do, and have you used it before? I need to add more cover around the rib area. Any suggestions?

Lindners Scud Missiles line is not considered a supplement. It is fed as a sole ration, and I will say there is not many feed lines that compare to this line. I use the 612 on my weanlings from 40lbs- 75lbs It gives them a jump start on putting on good cover and still builds alot of muscle on them. I use the 611 throughout the year on certain hogs that need need to add cover but cant afford to lose theyre muscle shape. The 613 is a fairly new product to Lindners they introduced this line last November it is the same feed as the 611 with the lean target paylene mixed into it. It is a very good paylene mix ration with the fact that it has the proper level of paylene mixed into a great feed that has a high fat level to prevent the paylene from burning too much fat on the hogs. The Scud Missile line has quickly become one of the most popular feed lines across the country it is very good and gives you great results.

For the rib area I would try Honors High Octane Depth Charge it should help with what you are wanting done on the rib area.

TClark & West-Texas thanks for the info and advice. Ive got about 58 days till show time an my barrow is on pace to weigh around 250 to 260. I think ive got enough time to add cover an finish him off with scud missiles feed or the depth charge supplement.
