| I would leave him on full feed till he reaches 150 to 175 and then start your hand feeding and introducing your supplements and I would leave him on the 632 and let him grow. | |

| Lindners Scud Missiles line is not considered a supplement. It is fed as a sole ration, and I will say there is not many feed lines that compare to this line. I use the 612 on my weanlings from 40lbs- 75lbs It gives them a jump start on putting on good cover and still builds alot of muscle on them. I use the 611 throughout the year on certain hogs that need need to add cover but cant afford to lose theyre muscle shape. The 613 is a fairly new product to Lindners they introduced this line last November it is the same feed as the 611 with the lean target paylene mixed into it. It is a very good paylene mix ration with the fact that it has the proper level of paylene mixed into a great feed that has a high fat level to prevent the paylene from burning too much fat on the hogs. The Scud Missile line has quickly become one of the most popular feed lines across the country it is very good and gives you great results. | |

| For the rib area I would try Honors High Octane Depth Charge it should help with what you are wanting done on the rib area. | |

| TClark & West-Texas thanks for the info and advice. Ive got about 58 days till show time an my barrow is on pace to weigh around 250 to 260. I think ive got enough time to add cover an finish him off with scud missiles feed or the depth charge supplement. | |
