Thanksgiving week was as rainy as it could have been. I expected that the low temperatures might slow the weight gain for the pigs because they're using up calories to stay warm and radiate heat. Keep in mind, all of these measurements were taken after a 2-week period and are averaged for a weekly gain and feeding schedule.
Winter: 165 lbs (up by 15 lbs per week) Spring: 185 lbs (up by 15 lbs per week) Summer: 180 lbs (up by 10 lbs per week) This means that our feed proportions have changed! Winter: 4.95 lbs per feeding or 9.9 lbs per day Spring: 5.55 lbs per feeding or 11.1 lbs per day Summer: 5.4 lbs per feeding or 10.8 lbs per day Spring has now become the heaviest pig in the group!
