Originally created by the Wilcox family of Indiana, they consider Flair the "secret ingredient" to their family's tremendous show ring success.

Provides a calming effect during daily stressful times and allows the exhibitor to handle show animals more professionally. It also helps to break animals and take stress off. A Great New Product!

Fitting Tip From the Pros:

Find us on Facebook!

With the arrival of your calves this fall, here are a few things to get you off to a good start. Check with the breeder to assure the calf has been properly vaccinated. Take your time when breaking your calf to minimize stress. After washing your calf the first time, use a heavy coat of Kleen Sheen. Comb and blow the sheen into the hair, then apply a heavy coat of Final Bloom to the entire body, including the legs. Continue to blow while applying more Final Bloom to any dry skin or dandruff areas. This will help to get the hide in better condition, promote hair growth, and train the hair.. — Barry Nowitzke

editor As I sit at my desk today, we are busy wrapping up this issue of the magazine and I finally have some time to write my Editorial. Actually, this is when I prefer to write, because I have had a chance to go over the million and one thoughts that have been flying through my head for the past several weeks. Now, I can take the time to sort it all out and put down on paper what I want to say.

This is an especially important time of year – the Holiday season signals the end of one year and the beginning of the new one. I sincerely hope you have all found time to enjoy yourselves and do what is important to you and those around you. Everyone continues to be bombarded with tales of the economy, health care, taxes, politics, etc. There are those who managed to be okay, and those who were adversely affected by the economic upheaval. One thing is for sure, change came to most households in some way, shape, or form. They say the only thing for certain in life, is change. We all have to accept that. I recently read an email newsletter I received, in which the author spoke of these changes. She made a very good point, when she stated that we all have to accept that things will never be the same again, but that change is okay and we will all be okay. It won’t be the same, but we will be okay. I know that it is sometimes very difficult to let go of what you have always had, or what you could always count on. But once you make a decision, it releases a burden, and that freedom feels good – it is okay!

I am very pleased to see that junior livestock projects continue to be one of those important things to keep doing. These are more than kid projects, they are family bonding projects. It is a positive endeavor with rewards at the end. Setting goals, working to achieve them, and being able to say “I did this”, gives hope and inspiration for the future.

W-D Swine Farm would like to invite you all to our 14th Annual Kick-Off Sale. The sale is always held the third Saturday in January at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds. This year the sale date is January 15, 2011. The preview will begin at 9 a.m., Lambs sell at 11 a.m. and the hogs sell at 1 p.m. In addition to our sale, Honor Show Chow Feed is hosting a Lamb and Pig Clinic. The lamb clinic will start at 9 a.m. with Clay Weber and the hogs will start at 10 a.m. with Bryan Vaughn. This is a great opportunity for 4-H and FFA members to learn more about the selection, care of, feeding and grooming of their projects. Clay and Bryan will both be happy to answer any specific questions you may have. We are really excited about our hogs for the sale this year. Our Drop Shot boar has made quite an impression nationwide. The latest being Drop Shot's son: the $37,000 Crossbred Boar we sold at Fall Classic in Duncan, OK. All of the hogs in the Kick-Off Sale will be sired by Drop Shot or one of our other service sires. Each hog sold in the sale, and the top 40 lambs, will go home with a bag of Honor Show Chow Feed. Thank you to Honor for that donation. For more information about our program, please visit our website at www.wdswinefarm.com or give us a call. Ryan is happy to go over the hogs with anyone on the phone or the day of the sale. If you are unable to make the sale, we are also taking bids in advance. We hope to see you all there!!

Getting a Bigger Piece of the Pie –

Direct Marketing Swine & Swine Products By Carol Albrecht

against it; they finish more quickly in a feedlot situation, you have more control of their diet, and they can’t tear up the pasture which they are prone to do. Well, this is a marketing article, so we have to peek at this from a consumer standpoint. Again, it all boils down to niche. What do your consumers, who will pay top dollar, want? It will take some checking with your potential customers to make sure which way you want to go.

In our last two articles, we have discussed the concept of direct marketing your project in order to get more of the consumer’s dollar and setting up a business plan as well as the direct marketing of beef and beef products. In this article, we will talk about selling of swine products to your customers. Your first decision will need to be what type of swine producer you want to be. The options for swine include many of those mentioned in the first article of this series. Choosing the right niche is the key to getting a large customer base for your pork.

Here are some unique options for swine that might help you decide. Many customers I run into want swine on pasture from a humane aspect. Especially in California, consumers have been bombarded by images of farrowing crates and believe all pigs live in cages. They want to opt out of pork entirely but can’t because of the BACON FACTOR. In case you did not already know this, many of your would be pork consumers are seriously addicted to bacon. I think this has to do with the crazy low fat diets that they are trying to follow, their brains are screaming for fat and when they taste bacon, they just melt. So if cutting out bacon is not an option, then that bacon had better not cause anymore guilt than that which is caused by the fat….. Customers are willing to pay quite a lot so that while they are munching on bacon they will have pictures blissfully floating through their heads of pigs trotting about on green pasture. So you decide which road to take. You can educate your consumers about why raising swine in pens is better or you can give them what they originally wanted by using humane nose rings to keep the pasture from being destroyed and electric fence to keep the fences in good condition. It is your business and your choice. (The beauty of capitalism.)

When we begin a discussion of swine as a pose to beef, we will need to change up the game a bit. Swine are monogastric omnivores. This means that they have one stomach instead of four like beef, sheep and goats. It also means that they require a higher protein and concentrate level of feed in order to grow and thrive. Ruminants have a rumen which is a huge fermentation vat that is meant to digest cellulose. Cellulose is in things like grass and woody plants. In case you are wondering, humans are monogastric omnivores as well. We have a single stomach and gut flora that is not meant to harvest tons of green plants. We need ruminants to do it for us. The beauty of a ruminant is that it can harvest plants humans cannot and eat off of land that can’t really grow crops. That piece of info is golden, you can use it to discuss with all your friends why we were not meant to be vegetarians. Having ruminants turn all that wonderful grass into supercharged, amino acid loaded protein is how we were meant to eat! (However, I digress; back to the subject at hand.) The nice thing about swine (and other monogastric omnivores, like chickens) is that they have our same digestive system and so feeding them is pretty simple if we just realize that they need to eat like we do (plenty of high quality protein) and like we do if we want to get fat (add on lots of carbohydrates). So basically, this boils down to the idea that you cannot just turn pigs out on pasture and market them as grass fed. (You can’t do this with ruminants either if you want to keep your customers. It is important to make sure the meat is finished and tasty. But that is another article…)

Another important aspect of swine is the lard issue. Lard used to be a sacred food in this country and believe it or not in those days we had no heart disease. There is a huge segment of the population who are students of traditional diets (whether they be Paleo or followers of Weston A. Price or something else entirely). These people want to return to the days when man and his children were healthy. They look at the fact that as consumption of lard and butter went down modern diseases went up. The problem is that our society has become so fat phobic that quality lard is

So if we have to feed pigs anyway then why would anyone ever put them on pasture? Certainly there are many arguments december 2010/January 2011

tional foodies and the like, then you probably will want to go with a natural cure. This means that your hams and bacons will be cured without any artificial nitrates. Processors who do a natural cure use the juice of celery or prunes or other plants that contain natural curing agents. Consumers who are seeking out a cleaner product usually go for this.

super hard to find. What do I mean by “quality lard”? Well, usually that means not hydrogenated which turns it into a trans fat. So consumers are looking for naturally rendered lard that they can use in cooking and baking the way their great grandmother did. To produce lard you need to have fat on your pigs so the amount of finish will be different than if you are going for lean meat. Pork direct marketers will need to choose between selling a “lean white meat” product or selling a “healthy fat” product. There are customers for both products.

If your customers are more of the gourmet set than the health set, then find a processor who consistently wins awards for his hams, sausages, and other cured meats. Find out what your competitors are doing and out do it. Make different flavors and have taste tests at events to find out which products have the most appeal. These products are considered “value added” as something is done to them other than just to package them as meat. There is generally more profit in a value added product as it is interesting to the consumer and you can mark it up more. Pork chops are pork chops and the consumer has a hard time differentiating between yours and the other guy’s but smoked cinnamon apple sausage is a product that might be uniquely yours… Selling pork products directly to consumers can really be enjoyable because customers tend to get really excited about pork and the huge array of products you can sell them. You may find yourself raising more and more pigs just to keep up with the demand.

The other unique thing about swine is the fact that some of the animal can be sold as cured meat. Hams, sausages, bacon, linguica, bratwurst, and the like are all examples of cured meats. This means that you will need to locate a processor to do your curing for you. Here is a great chance to outshine your competitors. If you are selling to the tradidecember 2010/January 2011

"Sittin' Round the Showbox"

with Celeste Settrini

assigned to curious, innocent children. It’s actually quite scientific, according to author Susan Smith Nash, Ph.D. “Cognitive receptivity is a state of mental preparedness. It is a combination of cognitive readiness – the learner’s levels of development – and of psychological openness – the learner views the environment.”

The “Squishy” Factor As we continue our journey together, I told you I would break down the components I shared last issue - The Pyramid of Success according to basketball coach and inspiration John Wooden. As we approach a new year, many of us think of it as a brand new start. No matter what happened this past year, this is a fresh beginning. We might want to think of that with our show projects and the attitudes we have in the show ring and around the barn. We might ask ourselves, how can I be better this year? Well hopefully, this month’s column will give you a push in the right direction.

Three lessons learned. First, be consumed by overpowering curiosity. Initiate a love affair with the things that never cease to make your head tilt. Second, stay devoted to your thought life. Make a conscious effort to remain intellectually captivated and productively preoccupied as often as possible. Third, seek out the inherent novelty in all you perceive. 2. Be flexible in the way you view the world. Don’t think everything to death. Treat every experience with deep democracy. Relax. Consider nothing useless. Trust your spongy faculties to absorb something from everything. Explore ideas first. Then consider whether or not they’re relevant to your world. Like the sponge-like kindergartner who absorbs everything she encounters – good and bad – your mission is to maintain creative flexibility with all that you experience. People. Ideas. Situations. Everything. Are you willing to learn from people – even if you don’t like them?

Last issue we listed all sorts of attributes for success and I originally thought we would break down each attribute but then got to thinking how can we learn about all of these things and make it easier on us. What is the best way to gain competitive greatness or confidence or self control? How are we going to master these traits and use them to the best of our abilities with our projects both in and out of the show ring? I think learning to gain confidence, get the skills needed to excel and provide self control while doing it, we need to master the “squishy factor.” You will find as you get to know me and read more and more that I like to create my own words and phrases. (For example squishy factor) I have had the tremendous opportunity to meet lots and lots of wonderful folks through my travels and because of them I am on the journey to become my best self. One such person is Scott Ginsberg. Scott is also known as the nametag guy and for years Scott has been walking around with a simple nametag on his chest every single day of his life. Why you might ask? To create awareness, to engage in conversations and from that he will learn from others. I have learned oodles upon oodles of things from Scott and being a sponge is one of them. (www.scottthenametagguy.com)

3. Treat your environment as your mentor. Kids are notoriously spongy. That means YOU – our readers!! They soak it all in. Even the things you don’t say. Especially the things you don’t say. Rather, kids soak up what you do and who you are.

By being a sponge you can absorb all the good things out there available to you. The “squishier” you are the more you absorb, the more you learn from others and from that the better you become.

Therefore: Develop a system for emptying your brain on a regular basis. This serves dual purposes: (1) Freeing up surface area to invite future material, and (2) Restocking your creative inventory before ideas get stale.

Here are a few things taken from Scott as to what he has to say about being a sponge~

Who can you learn from in this new year? How about making a new years resolution to learn something new each day or each week about your show project whether it be tips in the show ring or how about just some good solid information on your animal that you could share with any one person that may come up and ask about your animal. You need an example?~ How about you are at the county fair and a fairgoer comes up to you and says – “Meat is bad for you.” Instead of being on the defense why not have artillery of answers in your brain to offer up. Your answer might be “I love beef because it is a powerful nutrient that helps strengthen and sustain my body. It gives people the power of protein and one beef serving provides about half the recommended daily value. Protein helps you maintain a healthy weight, build muscle and fuel activity.” With an action packed answer like this one – taken from your “squishy” brain you have a great, solid and polite response to someone questioning eating meat. Young people now more than ever come in contact with all sorts of questions from folks visiting a show or county fair so we must be armed with all kinds of good information to educate them and with a “squishy brain” you can have all that info packed inside. YOU ARE THE FUTURE VOICE OF OUR INDUSTRY – IMPACT !! MAKE ONE.

4. Read omnivorously. Eat words. Chew sentences. Blow bubbles with ideas. Whether it’s a book, magazine or blog post, think of it as an all-you-caneat creative buffet. Personally, I read five books a week. Have for many years. But I don’t just read them – I devour them. 5. Don’t forget to squeeze. People tell me I’m a sponge all the time. What they don’t know is that I’m also a blender and a casserole dish. Why? Because sponges have limits. If you don’t periodically squeeze the liquid out, you might lose it. Here’s the science behind: The act of wringing or squeezing a sponge contracts the pockets so that new surface tension can NOT be formed; thus, the water has nowhere to go but out. Similarly, in the world of creative absorption, the same principle applies: You can’t add new ideas if you don’t wring out your current capacity.

A sponge is an individual whose openness, curiosity, creativity and intellectual absorbance significantly enhances his personal and professional life. HERE’S THE REALITY: Sponges learn more. 1. Never stop absorbing. Being a sponge isn’t just a cute little metaphor

the towns downstream, including Cody, have ample water for their crops—beans, sugar beats, potatoes, and plenty of high meadow hay.

Korner

Every visit in each season brings a new experience. Therefore, I am expanding my weather horizons. For the most part, the two day trip from Paso Robles, California to Cody is a pleasant drive. Spring and summer pose few problems, a cloud burst through Utah’s high country, a rare rogue snow squall along portions of the highway where the Mormon and Oregon Trails split, a head wind just over the Wyoming line. But a visit that coincides with the winter holidays of Thanksgiving or Christmas can be more challenging. Over the years, thanks to the Weather Channel and pure luck, we have avoided the worst weather. We stay just ahead of the snow storms and arrive in Cody with our truck and sanity intact.

Chore Time in Wyoming By Kathleen Wood-Vieira

Ok, so I admit it. I am a “weather wimp!” For well over a hundred years, five generations of my family have basked in the mild climate of the Golden State. Summer fairs and picnics are never rained out and my idea of winter weather is tarping the hay in the fall and shaking the black widows out of my rubber boots before chore time.

Thanksgiving 2010 was no exception. The trip through Salt Lake was summer-like, the high reaches of South Pass snow-free and, as if right on cue, the snow began to blow in over Cody while we unloaded our suitcases and gifts of California strawberries, homegrown tomatoes and avocados. With Jack Frost nipping at my nose, this must be the way most of the country celebrates Thanksgiving! The house was warm; we were together with family and while we watched through the newly insulated windows, the flakes and the thermometer continued to fall.

Over ten years back, our son, Trajan, left California, first living in Elko, Nevada and finally settling in northwestern Wyoming. He married a wonderful Cody native and they bought a six-bedroom house, so it looks like there will be no moving back.

The day before Thanksgiving, hot cup of coffee in my hand, I turned on the local news. “Park County Schools are closed today, due to adverse weather. Because of the below zero temperatures and the wind chill, we made the decision to call off school for the day.” Bryan Monteith, school superintendant gave the good news.

Cody, Wyoming sits in a high desert valley, an hour from the east gate to Yellowstone National Park. Its climate boasts 300 days of sunshine, a dry climate, and winds that can blow a gale any time of the year. My daughter-in-law tells me that they really get very little snow and barely a sprinkling of rain.

Hot dog, this is what I came for! “Hailey, I’ll help with chores,” I offered.

The Beartooth and Absoroka ranges of mountains take the brunt of the storms, packing in the winter snow. Come the spring melt, the rivers fill a huge lake behind the Bill Cody Dam. During the summer,

“Be sure to dress warm,” she said, as she zipped her “covies”, a pair of insulated Carhartt overalls. I layered. First silk long johns, then, since no one would know, my fleece pajama bottoms under my Carhartt flannel lined jeans. I put a turtle neck under my wool fisherman’s sweater, covered by a sweatshirt, vest and full length quilted coat. I topped my head with fuzzy cap, ear muffs and silk wild rag. I had a little trouble bending down to shove my wool sock clad feet into a pair of sheepskin lined leather boots. My hand coverings were only cheap Walmart gloves, but I figured I could keep them in my pockets for the most part.

“Hmmm, good thing we have an overcast,” Hailey said looking at the gray morning, “or else it would be really cold.” Say what, I thought and pulled my coat tighter. We drove a mile to the horse corrals and left the car idling, the heater running at full blast, beside the hay stack. Of the five horses that greeted us, only one wore a blanket, Prime Oak, the fancy California bred horse. The others had those good northwestern genes that allowed them to thrive in this kind of weather. Something I had noticed all over Wyoming was the use of more windbreaks than barns for shelter. My son tells me the most dangerous thing is cold with wind and since winter is so dry, a piece of plywood to block the wind is all they need. Must be working, the ponies were haired-up, looking fat and sassy, with frost decorating their whiskers.

I tossed the hay while Hailey chopped ice. She used the back of a hatchet and scooped the chunks out with an apple picker, but no amount of chopping worked on the sorrel mare’s trough. Hers had frozen into a single cube. Hailey found a spare insulted barrel and we rolled it over. My hands were starting to feel the cold and it felt like Jack Frost was chewing off my nose. While Hailey filled the trough, I stuck my hands deep in my pockets, trying to thaw them out and tied my wild rag, Bandito-style across my nose.

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE

FITTING: By Joel Judge

head is the most important part, I think it is the most important part to fitting the animal. One that is too high makes your animal look as if it breaks in its hip-loin junction or looks round and short from its hooks to pins. One that is too low makes the animal look low pinned and thus not square on the silhouette, personally as a judge, I can handle a higher tail head easier than a low one, they turn me off to that animal right away. A tail head should flow from the hip or growth bone out to the corner of the animal keeping it square and long hipped.

It is hard for me to focus on one topic each time I sit down to write, mainly because I become very reflective of things that I have done with my kids over the past 10 years showing cattle. Now don’t get me wrong it’s not all good we have made a lot of mistakes, but that’s how I have learned and hopefully I pass these lessons on to my children. The one good thing that Becky and I have done is starting our kids fitting cattle from an early age and it hasn’t been until recently while reflecting and observing that I realized the benefit of our actions. We started them working hair correctly, fitting front legs first and then as that was mastered they moved to the rear legs. It was to teach them but also it was out of necessity as we could not afford to hire a lot of extra fitters, so we just jumped in and got after it. Today my two girls can fit the entire animal and do it well from legs to tail head to flank to finish or fine tune clipping, oh and the tail (which I still can’t do). Now it is good to see them have pride in fitting their own animals and have some success, a great lesson for life ahead. So my point in all this is to encourage you young families to get your kids involved and have them start fitting because that’s how they learn, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

The underline needs to be complimentary to the top line, even and well blended from the fore rib to the flank. I like cattle that are full in the fore rib and blend shorter from the naval to the flank. You actually need to gradually cut the flank hair shorter from naval to flank so the animal has a natural turn to its mid section. This is more important on large heifers and steers, younger heifers and steers look better sometimes with a square made flank as they are not as full or fat at this time. Either way these two parts are so important to the overall look of the animal and is many times overlooked because too much attention is paid to “jocking” those legs. The last and maybe the most important fitting aspect doesn’t require actual fitting at all — Fill. You need to make sure your animal has the correct fill for its body make-up, which varies its entire life. Feeding and water play the major role in this so we always get to the show in the morning to rinse, blow and allow animals to eat grain and also eat hay prior to fitting. I have seen so many cattle as a fellow competitor and as a judge get beat because they were hollow or too full, a lot of times they were better fit but still didn’t look the part. Don’t overlook the importance of having them look full and fresh and keep it simple. It’s important to keep the animal eating the same feed as at home, offer them clean fresh water and hay. Jackpot shows are a great way to train cattle to drink, just like training kids to use the restroom when you stop for fuel traveling. When it’s offered you had better take advantage of the situation because the next opportunity may not come for awhile!

The first thing you need to do is quit worrying so much about kids messing up fitting legs, start them on the left side front leg and allow them to try their best to not only pull the legs but to also clip them. We all want to do our best but kids especially need the room to experiment and grow in their project, and I used to be overly concerned about the level of perfection that was needed for fitting legs. After judging cattle shows for 20 years now, I have NEVER beat an animal because the left front leg was not pulled or fit correctly. Knowing this, let them jump in and get after it, in fact let them get on those legs on both sides because everyone would like you to think that clipping or “jocking out” as Jessie says, an awesome leg is the most important aspect to fitting. I admit that I really appreciate a leg front or back that is perfectly fit and looks natural but while that animal comes to you in the ring as a judge you never really notice a large difference unless its not fit at all or looks like a group of squirrels with curry combs have brushed it in every different way. What I am saying is legs are important but not the deal breaker on your animal and to get the real perspective get back about 10-15 feet from your animal and see how it looks because that’s the judge’s perspective. Movement exposes your animal’s structure every time, not how awesome that leg is fit.

I encourage all families to get out and show and get involved and most of all have a good time. I am going to work out a schedule for fitting camps this winter, spring and summer. I am not the best fitter but I am a great teacher and I love helping kids. You can contact me at tristarcattle@aol.com or on Facebook or now follow me on Twitter at BeefSolutions as I travel the country judging, showing and selling cattle.v

The most important areas of fitting are the top line and underline which create the silhouette, which is the view that carries the most impact, especially to a judge. When working on the top line the tail

Wyoming weather.

While it took only a few minutes to fill the water barrel, it seemed like an hour. Hands in the pockets weren’t working and the chill was seeping through my clothes layer by layer.

“All done,” she said, straightening up. I didn’t know if I would ever thaw out, but that long-awaited, hot shower did the defrost.

In California, I would have shut the faucet, tossed the hose on the ground and sprinted to the house for a cup of hot coffee. In Wyoming you can’t do that. The faucets have a long handle that shoves the water back into the underground pipe and you have to walk the water out of the hose, if you want to use it again before April. It took Hailey four trips walking from one end of the hose to the other holding it head high before she was satisfied.

So to all of you out there who take the best care of your animals in the snow, ice and wind, I applaud you . And for this Christmas, I am asking Santa for a pair of insulated gloves and a pair of Carhartt “covies.”

My hands were really feeling it now and a hot shower was sounding heavenly, when I noticed the snowballs stuck in the horses’ feet. “Do you have to dig that stuff out?” I asked. Notice I didn’t volunteer to help. I was afraid my hands would snap right off if I tried holding anything. “I’d better,” Hailey said and we spent another fifteen minutes in the december 2010/January 2011

Showpig Pen Preparation Spring/Summer Months

By Rachelle Bailey There are many important factors that go into a successful market hog project. One that I often bring up time and time again is the actual environment that the animal will be living in for 3-4 months. The animals living environment is the first stage that needs to be evaluated before the animal is purchased and brought home. The needs of the pig can change throughout the growing process depending on when the animal is purchased and when the animal will be shown.

As the pigs grow the needs of the animals’ environment will change as well. Having an enclosed structure is still very important especially by providing that animal extra protection from the sun which can cause sunburn. Pigs can get sunburnt very easily which can cause those animals to go off feed and be very uncomfortable. If the structure is not fully covered at least purchase shade-cloth and place over the open area so the animal is not lying in the direct sun. Not only will the animal be more comfortable, but its skin and hair will be more presentable at the fair you are going to.

Winter Months There are many different environments that the market hog project can be raised in. But one of the most important is the structure that will cover the pen. I would recommend that the entire pen of the showpig be covered but still have natural light going into the structure. Having the pen covered will provide the pig extra protection from the wind and rain during the winter months.

Fans and misters are also very important to have during the summer months. This keeps the animal comfortable and growing well. Natural ventilation is very important to remember especially in enclosed barns as air movement plays a key role in the comfort of the animal. The water source in the pen should be placed in an area that is not in direct sunlight as you always want to provide the animal with cool fresh water. Besides water, the pen should also have an area where the pigs can eat. I would suggest providing the pigs with a stationary feeder can the pig can not move. A good feeding area is very important to the success of the project. It’s also important to keep the feed in an area where the feed is going to stay fresh. So pay attention to misters or rain water that can get into the feeding area. Depending on the number of pigs in the pen, also provide enough feeding spaces so all pigs can eat at the same time.

Most pigs that are purchased during the winter months are small and need extra protection from the wind and rain. I would recommend building a structure that does not face into the wind. This really depends on the area that you live in and the direction the wind blows. Even though the structure is covered it’s important to also have a wind block or area that the pig can go into. Heat lamps can also provide extra warmth especially to newly purchased pigs. Pay close attention to the animal and where it lays and sleeps. If the pig is not lying directly under the heat lamp, then sometimes the environment may be too warm and the heat lamp may only need to be used at night. Same goes for a pig that is too cold. Use your judgment, if you are warm or cold when you walk into the pig’s environment, chances are the pig feels the same way.

Sanitation of the pig’s environment is also very important. I would suggest fully cleaning and disinfecting the area before you place new animals into the environment. Always provide fresh bedding and when in a barn situation try and wash the pens daily so the animal won’t slip and get hurt.

There are numerous beddings that can be used as well. I would suggest using straw during the winter months as pigs can bury underneath of the straw which provides them extra warmth. Shavings are a great option as well but really only keep the area dry. Shavings are great in a barn situation where the pig is already fully protected or in barns that have a flush style system. Straw can get clogged easy in this environment where shavings would be a better option. Another option is to layer the shavings first and then place the straw on top to provide a warm and dry area for the animal to sleep. This is a great option for pigs that are exposed more to the weather and don’t have a fully enclosed structure.

There are numerous management steps that are taken to raise a successful market hog project. Remember the pig’s environment is one of the most important! Good luck!

Place the water source in an area that is protected from freezing during the winter months. Remember the pig should always have a water supply available at all times.

MoorMan’sŽ ShowTecŽ 14.5/6 LN No. 14560BPF with LincomixŽ*

NEW

MoorMan’sŽ ShowTecŽ FINISHER

MoorMan’s ShowTec 14.5/6 LN (No. 14560BPF44) is the newest finisher in the ShowTec line-up of

winning performance-proven show feeds. This 14.5% protein/6% fat product in crumble form gives a smooth finish to show pigs. It is ideal for show pigs weighing over 150 lb needing a lower protein, higher fat diet. Just like MoorMan’s ShowTec Developer BB 18 LN No. 18241BPP, this new ShowTec product provides the same nutritional components, like ADM innovative, patent-pending and proprietary feed ingredients. Ingredients like Energy Burst, PremiDex, and CitriStim to enhance the product’s effectiveness and performance potential. The addition of Lincomix provides protection from swine dysentery and porcine ileitis.

When winning performance is your goal, add MoorMan’s ShowTec 14.5/6 LN (14560BPF44) to your feeding program! What’s so special about these research-proven ingredients? CitriStimŽ has a beneficial impact on animal growth and health via its deleterious impact on pathogenic gut bacteria.

PremiDex™ has a positive effect on performance, resulting from beneficial changes of gut microflora.

high quality purebred gilts for a period of one year. The recipient of the gilt is encouraged to show the progeny at CPPA shows, and to create a long standing mentor relationship with the breeder. This concept is a practical way to encourage junior exhibitors to become active in the swine industry by expanding their experiences. CPPA Show Pig Scholarship The Directors of the California Pork Producers Association and the CPPA Youth Committee invite breeders and junior members of the association to participate in the Show Pig Scholarship program. The main goal of this program is to promote interaction between the leaders of today and those of tomorrow by providing junior members a high quality show pig for their county fair, as well as gain a depth of knowledge about the swine industry from the breeder. It is the goal of the program to assist junior members with strong scholastic skills, who may not be financially able to purchase a show pig, and have an interest in the swine industry.

William “Bill” Silveira Scholarship As each year passes, more and more people realize the impact that William “Bill” Silveira had on the California Pork Producers Association. A visionary, Bill poured his heart and soul into making CPPA work for pork producers. This legacy still lives today. After Bill’s passing, his loving wife Sofia started a scholarship fund for junior CPPA members in his memory. Bill believed in young people and knew providing them opportunities would pay dividends well into the future. The Silveira Scholarship Fund was established to help cultivate CPPA and agriculture industry leaders.

In order to apply for these CPPA Member Programs, you must be a CPPA Junior Member. Application Deadline is January 31, 2011.
