Gene Matthis, Prestage Farms, North Carolina
"As a contracting grower for Prestage Farms, I don't have time to adjust or clean feeders. I haven't had one Osborne Big Wheel Feeder plug after years of use. Best of all, my feed conversion (F/G ratio) has improved an average of 0.1 to 0.2 per building. My initial investment has been well worth the cost. Take it from me. Hogs are my business."
