[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 89058, member: 1292"] Preston39 - 1st off, that previous owner isn't going to admit there were any problems. If he/she did, then hilary is going to hold he/she accountable. This ends up with lower cash in hand. Hog markets are bad enough that no one is going to risk getting even less. 2nd off, hilary needs to ask about feed rations instead. If feed is considerably different, then there is the problem. 3rd off, it will clear up eventually but with a very high death loss. Hilary needs to do something NOW to slow down the scours. The amount of time it takes to adjust to new feed, new environment, shipping stress, new "bugs" etc. is too long to keep all of them alive without stepping in and stopping those scours. I am a very experienced hog producer. After reading your posts, I'm beginning to wonder how much experience you have with any livestock. I hope while you are reading these posts that you apply some of the advice here. Your animals will love you for it. [/QUOTE]
