Weight Watcher^™ System Manages Growth

The Weight Watcher^™ growth management system totally manages growth and production of your market hogs.  You benefit from increased finishing performance and efficiency.

"With our Weight Watcher growth management system we actually turn our barns faster than our conventional units," says James Waldner from Orland Colony in Montrose, South Dakota.  Fewer market sorts are needed and finishing barns turn quicker.

You gain total control over feeding, weighing, auto-sorting, animal tracking, marketing and record keeping with the Weight Watcher growth management system.  Daily Weigh^™ software manages your data and provides vital information and reports to monitor performance.

Cut sort loss with the Market Sort feature and Market Predictor^™ report.  The Market Predictor^™ report  predicts target weights and market dates using real time average daily gains.  Plan your market hog sales in advance with this report.

You also benefit from the Weight Watcher phase feeding feature.  Each day you know the weight distribution of pens so feed changes are efficient, simple and accurate.  James Waldner, Orland Colony, comments, "The Osborne Weight Watcher growth management system allows us to phase feed much more efficiently.  We benefit from lower feed costs, reduced animal variation and more pounds of pork produced.  We also use the Phase Feeding report from Daily Weigh to predict when to change feeds.  This eliminates feeding expensive diets to the wrong pigs."

Cutting feed wastage with Big Wheel^® Feeders boosts your efficiency.  Big Wheel feeders are engineered to improve feed-to-gain by reducing waste.  "The Osborne Big Wheel feeders require minimal adjustment and are easier to manage than our conventional stainless steel feeders. We love them.  We have had no problems getting the pigs started and have seen a reduction of starve-outs and reduced mortality rates.  We have observed that when given a choice, the pigs actually prefer the Big Wheel feeder over others," says James Waldner of Orland Colony.
