EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I got a little shoat that is skinny she was pulled down by little ones what's some stuff that will fatin her up

donuts ;D

Enchiladas and beer did it to me.

x2

enchiladas give me gas terrible bad . as far as beer , i switched to drankin a 12 pack of lite beer a day and i ain't lost a pound yet !!

so beer might be the way to go hahahahaha

seriosly worm him and feed 3/4 corn 1/4 supplement plus anything else you can throw over the fence .

lol they dont fattin up

Have to disagree. I have two feral females about a year and a half old and three half hamp half feral four month old shoats that are plenty plump. I feed the hog feed and 12%(mixed 50/50) from TSC and any and every table scrap and anything that expires in the cabinet or fridge.

we feed them 20 % cattle cubes works great

I feed mine everything lol. Any leftovers/old/expired foods, old produce and her favorite, fish heads n guts.....she aint that big though because i dont feed her a ton but i guarantee if i upped her feed she would be plenty fat.

I have gave her horse feed and cow feed and some scrapes and corn she ate some corn she is fresh from the woods and still sullied up

Just load the dogs up and catch a bigger hog!  ;)

My agri teacher told us that some would give their show hog a coke. To make it look muscular. Some hormones they have. But it ls temporary.

Anything sweet or cake like

a lot of time and lots of corn and range cubes wild hogs always seem to stress and fall apart the first month or so in the pen .

If you take the cost of feed to how much weight it gains it well never add up

Very true!

I feed mine allstock,some corn every couple weeks and all the scraps that accumulate. I agree though the first couple months they loose a good bit of weight. Just keep feeding and they will gain it back but you won't every get them to.gain like a domestic. Majority of the weight they will put on will be straight fat no meat at all. I worked at a slaughter house and have peeled out more than I care to remember and every wild hog that was feed out and looked decent had a layer of fat 3-5 in thick and very little meat. Domestics gain more muscle weight and actually do good wild never did.

Give her a shot of ivomec that will help more than anything

 I agree with worm her first. Then go to the dollar store and buy some cheap cake mix and or cheap pancake syrup and mix a little in with her feed. Thats how we always got our show hogs to eat more.

I feed mine a mix between 20% cubes,sweet feed, bluebarn dog feed & catfish feed. Catfish feed- the one I use is 36%.

if your gonna be taking it to sell anytime soon i wouldnt bother. spend more money trying to make them weigh more than what they bring
