[QUOTE="Toby L., post: 630240, member: 9048"] 2008 Pig Report Holding Time of Pigs Bought 9 pigs on April 16, 2007 – Each pig weighed about 37 lbs pd $50/pig 1 July 3rd – Total of 78 days 2 August 1st - Total of 107 Days 6 August 13th – Total of 120 Days So in 120 day's you brought a 37 pound pig to 265 pounds? How much grain did it take for you to get one pig to that wieght? I was thinking of doing 10 pigs this year, I usually do at least a couple a year. I'm going to be buying corn from a farmer, so when I have him grind the corn I can throw in 200 pounds of soybean meal and 50 pounds of minerals? And I think you had put in 1200 pounds of corn in that mixture, so what would the estimate protien value be in a mixture like that? Saying the corn is 8% protien. I can get the corn for $10 a hundred, so if I mix my own I can save alot more money then just buying %16 pig grower at the feed store for $300 a ton. But I wanted my mixture to equal as close to 16% as possible, thanks. [/QUOTE]
