ok first i was wanting to know what i should feed my future boar i plan on showing him at the 2012 ft worth boar show and the san antonio open show the litter should be had by july 8th i really like moormans for the gilts ive shown but is it ok to use it on a show boar also how would i stud him out i plan on getting in the business

Hey cody, feeding a boar is just like feeding any other show pig. You really dont need any extra additives. As far as keeping a boar, make sure to keep something that you are proud of and not just keeping a boar so that you can be part of the business. Dont forget to be selective. If you are going to stud him out there should be a few things that you should understand about collecting your stud so that you can have the best possible successes with him. If you have any questions or need someone to speak to on the phone about this, we are always willing to help. I dont think we know it all, but will give you insight into what we know and hopefully shoot you in the right direction. We have had several boars and we are extremely selective on the boars that we choose to keep. Just shoot me an email or stop by our website.

I hope this is enough information for now. When you start getting a bit closer, we can start to build your stud up.

Good Luck

thank you i will make sure to give yall a call when the time comes around. also with additives your talking about explode and more body etc right things in that category but straight moormans feed would be ok right?

I have one question real quick how big are those outdoor pens cause im looking into building a barn and i was told for year round that a 6 x 20 pen should be used

there is no true dimension for a pen. Just as long as you show pig has enough room to walk back and forth comfortably.

Your right about the feed additives and Yes moormans would do just fine. Let me know if you have any information. I see that you are new on this site, all the people here are really nice and extremely helpful.
