When I was a kid I had 13 pigs. I had corn ground, oats ground, (I think I used about two parts corn, one oats) mixed tankage and soy bean oil meal by figuring the protein in each to come up with the ration I wanted. I weighed this on a scale and hand mixed it together with a shovel. I just kept changing the protein level with the size of the pigs. When they got close to marked I picked corn off the ground behind the corn picker. Fed that ear corn and calculated how much protein supplement they needed.
