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.
