What feeds do some of you give and how long do you feed out before butchering? Do you try to shoot them while they are laid up and less stressed? A lot of hogs taken straight from the field are delicious and others are ok to down right nasty. I assume stress from a chase and poor diet are the cause. Pigs taken in agriculture areas tend to taste much better than a rocky desert. What is your opinion?

I always fed chopped corn for several weeks, then eased up and shot them with a .22 when I was ready.

There is a sow and pig feed at TSC that is medicated... We fed that for couple months then switched to corn for a couple weeks before butchering ours. I would say less stress is definitely the way to go though either way.

Any chicken houses around you, if you can get your hands on the feed they feed the chickens it will literally cut your growing and feeding time in half.
