MATURITY
A hot-button word that may confuse some.
And no, we`re not talking about what jokes your middle schooler finds funny…
So…what`s it mean and why does it matter?
Listen in as Brad Mabry breaks down his definition of maturity.
Early maturing= animal that is putting it`s weight gain to fat instead of skeletal growth more quickly
Later maturing= animal that`s putting it`s weight gain to lean muscle and skeletal growth instead of fat deposition
It matters because when picking out your animal and making feeding decisions for that animal, we always need to be paying attention to it`s maturity curve. If you have a 50lb barrow that looks like a 280lb stout, moderate, slow growing show pig, you`re likely to not have a great end result if that pig`s target show isn`t for another 6 or 7 months. On the contrary, if you have an animal that looks skinny, longer headed, sleeker necked, that isn`t as stout, that pig will need extra time to get to it`s target weight and end goal, so if the target show is only a few months away, that won`t be the best pig for that show at that time most likely.
What can we do to manipulate maturity?
Often we can extend the maturity curve by paying attention to how much fat we have in the diet, especially early on. Using a product like Sunglo Full Tank can help extend the maturity curve on the animal long-term.
On the flip side, when you NEED maturity, meaning you need that animal to start to look like a finished market animal, adding products like Sunglo Game On, or Explode, or 803 can help bolster maturity, especially in the end.
Bottomline: understanding maturity is important when feeding show livestock!

"…the assumption that your pig is going to gain the same he`s gaining per week right now, is not correct…"
A critical component to long-term feeding success is tracking and managing weight gain.
The earlier you can start weighing your pigs, the better liklihood for success.
Couple of tips:
-Pick a day and weigh. For many, this is Sunday afternoon.
-Decide if you`re going to weigh empty or full, either way just be consistent
-Track your weights to see if you`re staying on pace for your target show

"What should I start my new pig on? How much should I be feeding?"
A question we get asked all the time, with the consistent answer of "well, it just depends!" It depends on what kind of pig you bought!
The truth is there`s dozens of different ways to start the journey, but you have to start somewhere.
Here`s a simple chart of making your initial Sunglo feeding decision based on the amount of muscle your pig has. The amount of muscle is often the easiest thing for people to "read", especially if they`re just starting out.
Another good rule of thumb is the 3% rule.
If your pig weighs 100 lbs., then 3% of that pig`s bodyweight is approximately 3 lbs., which is how much feed you should expect that pig to eat in a day. In other words, 1.5 lbs. of feed, twice a day, is what successful families do.
Just remember, every pig is different. Every pig will feed differently. Keep them healthy, keep them hydrated, keep them consuming for your best chance in the end.

"You only learn when you lose…"
Do you agree?
Winning is the ultimate goal, but if showing livestock teaches anything, it`s to learn lessons when we lose.
The reality is that you`re going to lose more than you win, it`s WHAT you do with that information that then sets you up for success next time.
