It’s that time of year again—SHOW SEASON! The season where the clippers are buzzing, the buckets are flying, and the talk of the barn is all about weight, hair, and getting those animals show-ring ready. Whether you’ve got a steer that needs to pack on the pounds, a hog that’s teetering a little too close to the top end, or a lamb that needs a little boost to shine, we’ve got the goods to help you push, hold, or trim down before the deadline hits.
First Things First: Know Your Numbers
Every show’s got its rules, and those weight limits don’t play around. Before you start stuffing (or slimming) your animal, double-check the target weight for your class. Then work backwards. You’ve got time—but not too much. Strategic planning is key!
That’s where Martin’s Feed Mill comes in to save the (show) day.
