Company Overview
Umbarger Show Feeds is an independent, family-owned show livestock feed company founded in 1939, operating a state-of-the-art mill in Franklin, Indiana (opened 2021) and distributing through 400+ dealers nationwide. They focus exclusively on premium show feeds for cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, poultry, and horses. Their tagline is “To be the best, you have to feed the best.” Their proprietary products include Bulletproof, Star Glo, Change Up, and Loaded. They also resell third-party branded supplements (BioZyme Sure Champ line, PetAg Dyne, Hyalogic Lubrisyn) — those products are documented under their true manufacturers in the database.

Show Line Notes
Umbarger’s proprietary show line consists of their base feeds and four supplement products (Bulletproof, Star Glo, Change Up, Loaded). The Sure Champ products (Extreme, Clench Gel, Climate Control Gel, Liquid Boost) are BioZyme products resold by Umbarger — they will be documented under a dedicated BioZyme/Sure Champ brand file. Dyne (PetAg) and Lubrisyn LVS (Hyalogic) have been moved to the circuit-staples category under their true manufacturers. All five base feeds are medicated — three with Bovatec (lasalocid) and two creep feeds with Deccox (decoquinate). The website has a widespread display error showing identical placeholder guaranteed analysis values (12% protein, 3% fat, 10% fiber) on every product page; actual specs must be sourced from retailer pages and product tags.
