[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 1847300, member: 411"] Very interesting. We've never had any pork that was fed milk so this is new. Just see a lot of folks with home dairy cows do it. We were already planning on raising pork but figured this would help with the feed bill. These will not be on milk only for sure. Thank you. Excellent. Will definitely stop feeding the milk before butcher as suggested. That will probably be easy. By then our cow should be at peak and the calves and our needs should be keeping up. 425 would be even better for us. We can get less hogs. I think we used to raise them to 250#'s and butcher but honestly can't remember. It's been well over a decade now. We definitely want the fat added. Especially because we render a lot of it for use. Thank you. Sounds like pulling them off milk/whey is definitely a good plan. Will look into the barley as well. Looking at what feed we'll be getting this week. When we had hogs many years ago we'd get custom feed so need to see what's out there now. Thanks for the advice. [/QUOTE]
