Content: There is no substitute for time spent building a bond and trust between pig and exhibitor. Regardless of how you deliver the feed at the onset of your project, you will need to begin hand feeding at some point in the feeding period to allow your pig to look it’s best on show day. Have a plan
Lastly, have a plan. Modern showpigs usually look their best at about 6 to 6 ½ months of age. So, when purchasing your pigs select appropriate aged pigs. Feed with the show ring in mind. From the start, try to picture what you desire your pig to look like on show day. And, feed to that end. There are many supplements, topdresses and nutritional products that allow you to change the outcome of your pig. Again, muscle is protein, and body condition or cover is a fat layer.
