Pigs at weaning time should be getting to the grain they will eat. The ration should include tankage or skim milk. With good pasture, pigs should be gaining well toward market weight. Self feeders offer convenient feeding of corn and tankage and often yield better gains than hand feeding. Inspect feeders before use and ensure they keep feed dry and available while minimizing waste.
Pigs should be farrowed early in worm-free quarters with pasture access late in winter. Vaccinate at eight weeks, wean at ten. Crowding should start as soon as feeding begins. After weaning, provide one third pound of tankage daily. Maintaining orderly, inviting surroundings benefits the house and all residents.
