Every feed store has some type of hog grower. They are going to eat a lot so be prepared. We fed our feeders about 3 times daily. Make sure they have fresh water available at all times. And they have enough room to exercise and build muscle on their own. Make sure you have proper housing for them because they will dig right under a fence, concrete is the best. Don't add a lot of corn into their diet, corn is almost pure fat.

I have raised pigs for fair so this is what you need to do...you need to go to a close feed store and make a pen. then you have to get grower feed because if you feed the scrap the will grow nothing but fat and no meat. so saying that you need to have one folgers coffee can filled with grower in the morning and at night
