By God Think We have it now.

Well we finally decided to can the professional advise and go with what I know best. Over the winter Chance has had some major set backs. Something or other would not agree with him, the dormant worm load, or maybe I just wasn't feeding him enough. In any case its been a slow road. I looked at his taping records and found in Oct he was not 600 like I remembered but 500. So I looked and found that he went from 500 to 650 in little under a month. Then he started dropping again. This is about the time winter hit really bad here. This month I decided to ignore all professional advise and add cracked corn to his feed. In the beginning of this new diet change I taped him at 628 pounds. This was about the 10th or so of Feb. Yesterday I taped him at a straight up 700 pounds. Now we have had some pretty nasty weather since this change so he is holding and gaining. Here are the updated pics. He still looks bad but I think in a couple more months he will be back to normal. barring any set backs.
