when you feed corn soak it over night so the pig can digest it better and that will help in putting on the weight...soaking for 2 days is better...

I can tell you a quick pig story kind of in line with what you are inquiring but these were domestic pigs...our neighbor down the road back when I was a kid, bought three littermate pigs...two weighed about 50 pounds and the runt about 30-35 pounds...the runt was small enough to get through a crack in the fence so he got out daily anytime he wanted and would feed in the rice fields, corn patches and maize fields...and anywhere else he wanted...a couple of months later I saw that runt and he was quite a bit bigger than his siblings...some time later he weighed close to 3 hundred pounds and his brothers weighed maybe 125 pounds...he had a deep dark red coat and his brothers were a dull yellow red...when that pig couldn't fit through the crack in the fence he went over the top...I saw him do it when he was over 200 pounds...for pigs it all about nutrition and calories...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
