I have tried to get moormans feed but I cant seem to find it. I have a Purina dealer near my home but I have to pre order each time I want feed. They don't stock Honor Show Chow. So what I need to know is what to order as far as post-starter feeds. There are many options to choose from. I haven't h...

Love the recent article on the blog

i would not add heavy weight this early. The best thing to add now to increase appeite and keep them healthy is True Glo

I agree with Tdgross89 that many bidders have seen the pigs in person or have built a good relationship with the seller so that they trust what they are telling them about the lots. Personally I have bought a lot of pigs from online sales and I have either seen the pigs before hand or discussed them...

Hulk feeders are pretty good, the only issue I have had is the screws coming undone were the metal sides and the PVC connect. This has been pretty common but it is easy to replace them. I actully have found the ones in the link below to be much more durable than hulk feeders and big sherm feeders. T...

I have never had a pig not eat champion drive. However many feed stores around here will sell very old product, so I always check date code to ensure i am getting fresh product. At $52 a bucket there is no way I will acceept 12-20 month old product.

Moormans Showtec feed, Yaggies oat groats with honor show chow supplement is the best combination we have found

What is 277 ? I have used about every Moormans product but I have never seen a 277.

We use the Sullivan deep hanging show box. Has beed gret for many years and is very versitile. We have been able to use it even at shows with limited tack space, Several of those shows the people with the rolling boxes had to kep theirs out in the trailer while are was able to be in the pig barn.

Heads up trainer and sanco whips are two different type of products. The comparable sullivan product to the Sancho whip if the heads up whip. The heads up trainer is made of aluninum and is much firmer that a whip. We like to use the heads up trainer while they are young and starting out and then wh...

All the above listed are nice, In my opinion the option that everyone has listed that is a deal breaker is the ramp. I like all the other options but I will never buy a new trailer with out a ramp, it just makes going to shows so easy.

If you want to go shows in the SUV consider getting a aluminum low profile trailer. We haul 6-8 pig in a low pro with the dodge durango all the time with no problems at all. Pulls very easy

All is Well wrote:Or if your on a budget give them all the beet pulp they want a week before and then all the way up to show

I found pigs eat depth charge way better than beat pulp and it is relatively inexpensive ( abut $12 a bag)

What about Lubrisyn? I know it is expensive but what about a showpig in general is actually cheap besides talk? lol We used Lubrisyn several years and it seemed to work fine. We have switched to true Track and really like it and it cost us less. You can find out more about it at HogDoc's true north...
