We just bought a Blue Butt Gilt that was pretty poor. She was in a pen with cold water and mud up to her belly. I don't believe they were feeding her near what she needed. We got her home Christmas day and she's now in a warm pen with plenty of feed and water and hay to make a warm bed. I just couldn't leave here in that condition, her water was green with algae. I haven't raised hogs in the last 25 years, so I bought some pellets and I'm feeding them free choice, but I know there is something I can give her to bring the weight back on. She's about a year old and I would guess her weight to be in the neighborhood of 200 lbs. Her back bone sticks up instead of being a depression. What should I feed her along with the pellets to get her in shape for breeding? Thanks in advance guys. Keith
