[QUOTE="Engler, post: 556981, member: 4110"] The last 60 days feed him some Vit E and sunflower seed oil. The Vit. E will give the meat a brighter, cherry red color and the ss oil will really whiten up the fat giving more contrast when the judges grade the loin. How big is he now, how big will he be when he's ready and how long do you have to get there? Does rate of gain figure in? If so, I know some will call this unethical, but really put the screws to him before he goes on test and suck a bunch of weight off of him. Then start him back slow and boom in 30 days you've got a huge rate of gain. Feed him 2,3 or 4 times per day. Keep him happy temp wise. Having a buddy will usually make them eat better. As far as what to feed, it depends on what you have access to. We push the corn and use barley for a smoother finish with just enough hay to keep the gut working. We try to shoot for about a 12% protien ration. [/QUOTE]
