At Reiterman Feed we carry Lindner Feeds, Kalmbach/Formula of Champions, Show Rite, Honor Show Feeds and Sunglo Feeds brands known for their quality and results among 4-H/FFA and jackpot exhibitors.
Lindner Feeds: Perfect for Show Pigs
Lindner Feeds are a favorite for 4-H pig projects. These feeds are specially formulated to promote muscle development and give your pig a shiny, healthy coat that catches the judge’s eye. Whether you’re raising a market hog or a breeding pig, Lindner Feeds provide the balanced nutrition your animal needs to thrive. Available in convenient bags, they’re easy to store and transport, making them a top choice for 4-H members aiming for blue ribbons.
Benefits of Lindner Feeds:

- Trusted by 4-H and FFA exhibitors across Ohio for consistent results.
For example, Lindner’s formulas are designed to support pigs at every stage, from weaning to market weight. Start with a starter feed to build a strong foundation, then switch to a grower or finisher to perfect their look before the fair. Stop by Reiterman Feed to find the right Lindner Feed for your pig’s needs.
Sunglo Feeds: Versatile Nutrition for All Livestock
Sunglo Feeds are ideal for a variety of 4-H animals, including pigs, cattle, goats, and lambs. These feeds are packed with nutrients to keep your animal healthy and looking great, even under the stress of fair season. Sunglo’s formulas help pigs achieve a clean, muscular appearance, while cattle feeds add bulk and bloom for a fuller look in the ring. Whether you’re preparing for the Madison County Fair or a jackpot show, Sunglo Feeds give your animal the edge.

Expert Tips for Show Success
Getting your animal ready for the fair takes planning and effort, but with the right approach, you can shine in the show ring. Here are some expert tips to help you and your animal succeed:
- Create a Feeding Schedule: Start using feeds early to match your animal’s growth stage. For pigs, begin with a starter feed, then move to a grower or finisher as the fair approaches. For cattle, use a feed that adds bulk for a fuller look.
- Practice Showmanship Daily: Spend time working with your animal to get them comfortable with leading and posing. Attend smaller shows before the county fair to build confidence for both you and your animal.
- Keep Stalls Clean: Use McFeeters Wood Shavings or SUNCOAST Pine Shavings to maintain a fresh, dry stall. Clean pens daily to keep your animal healthy and presentable.
- Groom Regularly: Brush your animal daily to promote a shiny coat and healthy skin. A clean, well-groomed animal makes a great impression in the ring.
- Stay Organized: Make a checklist of supplies, including feed, bedding, and show equipment. Visit Reiterman Feed or our mobile show trailer to stock up before the fair.
