I'm a little late on this thread but when I used to buy feeder pigs and raise them to butchering size (150lbs) I fed them pig feed from the local co-op. This was better than just ground corn because it had vits and minerals in it. Also it would be wise to worm your pigs, they'll grow faster if you do. Also very important is to make sure they have access to clean water (nipple waterers work very well for this since the pigs can't foul the water)
