Title: Keeping weight on hogs Post by: fonzie on February 24, 2014, 05:03:38 pm Anyone have any tips on keeping weight in hogs? I've heard that them being stressed out cause them to lose weight quick does the type of trailer you hold them in have any impact on that?

Are you asking how to keep weight on a hog after catching them? In instance, catch a big boar the first day of a three day live tournament, and how to keep him from stressing and keep his weight on?

Wonder what they'd do if you just drench em like show pigs? If You could, there's at least a dozen cocktails/witch doctor brews you could put down em. Also wonder if they'll eat cake mix like show pigs....

Some where saying that fully enclosed helps a hog from stressing out any truth to that?Title: Re: Post by: Purebreedcolt on February 25, 2014, 07:59:05 pm Lol sorry fonzie idk

And good fresh water, which we all know can a problem . Even if you feed corn hogs will eat a lot of hay and stay full .
