Our extension agent just came out to check my daughters 4-H pig and said he has plenty of muscle but he needs more fat. Now I have to figure out how to add fat. Who knew show pigs were hard to make fat??
Our pig is to lean.

Take down to the local Democratic voter registration office and they will fatten it up or at least sigh it up for free everything it needs to get fat. One drawback, you have to take it town to vote in several places.
That's the wrong kind of fat darling.....

I don't know, I watch these people at protest marches, in the news and most of them seem to have found way to put on the fat. I have yet to see any malnourished folks at these protests.
You don't see them winning any beauty contests either. Our boy has to look muscly AND pretty.

Okay, you win on that point, they are not going to win any beauty contests or any other contests, unless it is a free pie eating contest. Even then, if they lose, they will want a participation trophy.

We used to feed rice bran & broken to our pigs but it made them too fat. Just a thought. I don't know if 4-h pigs have to have a special diet but it's an option if you can and have a rice milk near you.
He's getting a 20% feed and his pen is 15x32.
