Question: I have a cross gilt weighing 169 lbs at 46 days out. Her average weight gain is 1.6 to 1.75 lbs per day on 6 lbs of Grower L200. She is very wide and thick. You would think that at this weight and on 19.5% feed that she would be very hard but she is not. She actually has a naturally full look to her and she carries the soft muscle very well. What can I do to make her top more expressive?

Answer: Bruce,

Thank you for your email and for choosing HONOR Show Chow Showpig products.

To help with improving top shape, I suggest feeding 1 lbs per day from now through show time, High Octane Champion Drive Topdress. Add this to the Showpig Grower.

Also, if you need more help, about 14 days prior to show time, add 2 ounces per day of our High Octane Showpig Paylean Premix. Paylean will help increase muscle and shape as well.

Thanks again,
