Your pigs look great. Obviously get well looked after.
A credit to your son.:D
Shame about the runt, but hopefully she will get better with age.
Why are you feeding antibiotics in the piglets feed??????
mom calls them to eat but they don't have any intreste in the grain feed that we feed the others with
Because I dont want to breed any Anti-biotic-resistant-Bacteria:D :eek:
Your Pigs look very nice though.
What is the live weight on one of your gilts?
Is it a Duroc? I heard Durocs squish alot of babies, but i think it just depends on the mother.
Akeim is a York/Hampshire
We cut mom hog ration back a wk before she is due but beef up the missing protion with alfafa hay, beet pulp or rolled oats
2.5 pound piglet is our aim. Son is the only one with small hands and the vet is an hr drive one way. So would rather them come here small and then make weight. They are close to 12 pounds each now. They will be weaned on April 6th. Trying to figure out right food portion for them now. They have a pen to eat feed and their mom can't be a hog. We hand feed from start to finish depending on weight requirements for a show.
We learned our lesson on allowing a boar to be on a self feeder and we blew his front end out.
Happy Easter to ALL!
