My GOS piglets will be 14 weeks old tomorrow. My question is simple, how much each should I be feeding them per day?

My 15 week old GOS are on 3lb a day split into two feeds.

Yes 3lb a day is fine and gradually increase to 4lb over the next few weeks.

I'm hoping that the pigs destined for the chop will be ready at the end of February beginning of March. That should be about right shouldn't it?

Should be ready beginning of March as long as they are growing well.

That's when i plan to do mine beginning of march, probably keep the gilts on a little longer for bacon.

Very very muddy but I'm pleased with how they are looking.

Far from ideal but with this weather, all I can do is to keep on piling the straw into the ark.
