I grind it fairly fine. As was mentioned - you will give them ulcers if you get it too fine. I think I use the 1/2 inch screen. I plan on putting in about 700 pounds to get them to market. I grind 2500 pounds of corn, a half bale of alfalfa, and 600 pounds of Purina concentrate 40. That makes my protein around 15.5-16%. With this I get them to butcher in about five months. I have to look at the exact date, but I have a litter due on Friday and her last litter goes to butcher the mid part of November.
All of my hogs are on dirt and born without crates. I like to keep a bucket of the old nasty whole kernel corn around from cleaning out the auger. I put a little in their ration to give them something to chew on. I have a friend that raises pumpkins. I go get a grain truck full after Halloween to give to them. They love pumpkins and melons.
If you have a round bale that has been sitting in a waterway or the mud put the whole thing in their pen. They love that rank hay.
