Thanks again for all of your help. We appreciate your willingness to answer questions and
help us understand the feeding process. We are constantly asked how we've learned so much
about feeding and I tell people you should talk with your feed man and feed nutritionist.
They are shocked and tell us they didn't know their feed company had a nutritionist.
We wouldn't leave Honor because not only do we find success with the feed...but we also
feel like you are on our team....helping us understand the differences in the pigs and the
way we feed each of them.
Again, thanks for all you do for the industry and especially the kids!!

I wanted to let you know that my daughters market pig weighed in at 270 on August the 7th.
We fed her the 2-lbs of Powerfill plus 4 pounds of her regular show grower per day since
the 14th of July. It really seemed to help open her up and give her the cover she needed.
She was the Reserve Supreme Market Hog at our County Fair.

I really think that the Honor® N-Timidator Goat Ration is an excellent feed.
I feel the N-Timidator feed gives our goats a fresher look over other feeds that I have tried.
My Ag teacher has all of his students that show goats feed it.
I even advertise this feed when selling my kid goats to others that are going to show.
I would also like to thank you for my Honor Roll™ Awards Program belt buckle.
I have wanted a buckle for a long time, but could never seem to win a show that gave one.
Thank you.

My Buffalo County Fair Division 3 Reserve Champion Market Steer,
Lyle, weighed in at 1230 pounds with a 2.62 rate of gain. The
steer that won the class went on to be reserve champion overall,
so I got to step in for consideration for reserve overall. That
was exciting. This is my 6th year in 4H. Last year I had Reserve
Champion Hereford Breeding Heifer at the Nebraska State Fair. I
like Purina Grand 4-T-Fyer. I think it makes my calves’ hair
coats shiny. We haven’t had as much trouble with dandruff since
we started feeding Purina.

We have tried several other beef supplements and without a
doubt, Grand 4-T-Fyer is the best. We have always been
competitive with our purebred Angus, but since switching to
4-T-Fyer two years ago, we have won two Grands, three Reserve
Grands, and several division and class winners at state and
national shows. Keep up the good work!

We have used Purina’s feeds for many years in our beef and swine
production. We have always had comfort knowing that they’re
balanced feeds. We have never had an animal not take to the
Purina feeds. Before we started with the Purina feeds, we had
tried some other brands, but not all of our animals would eat
the feed (particularly our beef calves). In closing we would like to thank you for producing such top
quality products!

I won Grand Champion with my pig at the 2006 Natchitoches Parish
Fair. My pig was fed Purina Mills Show Chow the whole time we
were preparing her for this event. Being my first year to show,
my parents searched on the internet for different types of feed
that they thought would be good for my pigs. After researching
the Purina Mills Show Chow website, they felt this feed would be
best for my pigs. Everyone in our parish was using a different
type of feed. We were the only ones using Show Chow and it paid
off. Thanks Show Chow!

We have fed Show Chow to our broilers all the way through from
start to finish. Each year our children have moved up to a
different event. Each time we have gone back to Purina Show
Chow. This year our little girl received Reserve Champion for
rabbits. Yeah! Now we are showing goats for 2007. We’re using
Intimidator Goat Ration. Thank you!

Thanks for the great product. My steer won FFA Grand Champion
and Reserve Supreme. We also graded choice in our Carcass Class.
Feeding Purina Feed and Honor Champion Drive Topdress was a
winning combo!

Dear Honor Show Feeds,
Thank you very much for sponsoring my Reserve Champion Market
Lamb jacket at the Union County Fair. This year I showed my
market lamb and breeding ewe at the fair. My market lamb was
Reserve Champion and I was Champion Intermediate Showman. I have
fed your feed for many years and have always been successful. My
lambs like your feed and they grow well. Again thank you for
sponsoring the jacket. I really appreciate it.

Codi has been in 4H four years. In 2004 her calf (T-Roy)
received Reserve Grand Champion, in 2005 her steer (Snickers)
was in the Grand Champion drive, and then 2006 she finally
received Grand Champion with “Jason!” All this time Purina Mills
continues to be our only source of show feed. Thank you very
much for making one of her dreams come true…being pictured among
the Top Performers!

Dear Program Headquarters,
Hey, my name is Logan Rees and I’m 15 years old. I just wanted
to let you know how pleased I was with your Show Chow Pig Feed.
I used your feed on my fair pigs. This was my first year using
your feed and I have seen a huge improvement in my pigs’ muscle
tone and weight. I will be using your feed in the future,
because I have seen so much improvement. Thank you for your
time!

At several shows we have been to, other competitors were always
inquisitive on what type of feed we use. I have always stated we
use Purina feeds, both the complete and show formulas. I always
had folks trying to convince me that I might want to switch. My
comment to that was, “Why would I want to mess with success?”
Lexy’s current meat pen record is 9 first place wins and no
losses. We pray for continued success. As you can tell, I am
very proud of Lexy, her rabbits, and their success. This project
has been a good learning experience for both her and me.

Just a note of thanks – your feed is a proven winner. We have
gotten Grand Champion steer two years in a row with your feed.
We also feed chickens, rabbits and hogs.

What a great feed! We have used it for 4 years and nothing else
even comes close… even the more expensive ones! We have a
pig/lamb sale in the spring and recommend it to our customers.
It really is the best – the feed you use really does make a
difference!
