so a question for yaw that do barr them for consumption.
at what age would yield the fastest weight increase by feeding 16% protein and adding in 99% veggie fat per 2 lbs of the 16% protein feed?
iv got some "pen raised" feral hogs about 4 or 5 months old right now and are segregated from the litter mates and are about 1.5x bigger than the rest of the shoats.
i put 2 aside, one blonde one for selective breeding to my next blonde sow and the other is just a normal red/brown hog, which will be for slaughter. he has actually put on the most wt. of the 2 and i was gonna barr him, just wanted to wait a bit (8-12 months) before cutting him and then maybe putting him in another pen and just pouring the fat and increasing his protein consumption from the 16% feed to around 40% by adding a portion booster of 24% protein. well i guess it would 40% if my math adds up correct, unless the 24% counteracts the 16%.
can anyone confirm or deny my math of getting 40% out of 16 and 24? and would barring him now yield the faster wt increase, or waiting till he is a yr or so?
Do you have to feed them a certain diet? My wife's family owned a hog farm for about 45 years and they just gave them food from our school that the kids would dump after school lunch they were happy to give it away and all they did was boil it with some water then feed it to the pigs
