Ten to twelve finished hogs will produce a lot of meat, they normally dress out to around 60 percent of the live weight. If you finish them to 250 pounds you can expect around 140 pound of meat per hog, 10 to 12 would produce 1400 to 1680 pounds of meat at one time. Will you be selling some of the finished hogs or sell the excess meat? Families often order a half hog (70 pounds of meat) or a quarter of beef (150 pounds of meat) at a time.
Commercial producers shoot for a feed conversion of 3 pounds of feed for a pound of gain and sell finished hogs at about 6 months of age. Ear corn will add about one bushel of cob for every bushel of shelled corn. That much roughage could restrict the rate of weight gain and really hurt the feed efficiency.
Would you be better off to feed your high roughage ear corn, hay and oats to a single feeder steer or a feeder heifer?
