I have been pretty happy with Ultracare. I went the 100, 300 then 500 route. Skipped the in between ones. My only concern is moving to a complete grower.

I have been very pleased with the way they grow on 209 and 409

fed the honor 409 with wormer to our showhogs when we got them home from the breeder at about 50lbs and they took to the feed imediately and they bloomed right out

It seems like we have tried everything we can get down here (way southern california). And so far, I really like Sunglo's First Response and their Sector 2 for after weaning.

We start with Moorman's 10/15 and like it a lot.

Only feed 1/2 bag per litter and then switch to a phase 2 starter - typically Showrite 50MG.

I use the Honor 209 one bag per litter followed by the 409 one bag per pig. They have 309 coming out tried to get some but was told that it was not available at this time.

we have gotten more bloom and grow out of showrite 50mg than any other feed we have ever used, except sunglo 800 a few years back, but it seems not to do the same thing now as it did. Piggy

Piggy, I have been wanting to try the 50 mg.I have been a HUGE fan of Showmaster starter. My little pigs look like champs on that, however not a fan of Showmaster grower. ( haven't tried it for several years, so cannot comment on it today) Have you used Showmaster and if so, how does it compare to 50 mg?
