We have a simmental calf the 3 judges that have seen her say that she needs more rib. we feed 3% of body weight and hay 2 times a day. i heard beat pulps would add more rib and volume, but do not know how much to feed or if it will work any suggestions???????? thanks
Needing more rib isn't something you can feed into her. You can give her a belly with more roughage, but spring of rib is a structure. An animal with a wider, deeper barrel can convert more roughage, usually being more efficient on feed.
