Pilgrim's Cattle feed

[I Love Beefies]

Has anyone ever heard of or used a feed that comes from Pittsburg, TX it's Pilgrims Feed. I have a show heifer that keeps getting longer and deeper but can't seem to get her to widen. I'm starting to thinks it's genetics, I have the sire and dam and grand dam on my place and if I didn't know better I would think she didn't come from that pair. Anyway I have heard Pilgrims' makes a grower (14% protein) and a finisher(12% protein) that already has beet pulp and cottenseed hulls and cottenseed and other grains in it ( comparable to steer feed). I was just wondering if anyone else has heard of this feed or had any luck feeding this brand of feed to either show animals or their herd.

Beet pulp is a pretty useless filler, I wouldn't get too excited about that.

I've heard of it. Wouldn't feed it to anything on my place. All their feed (that I'm aware of) is medicated. I didn't get any further than that with the ingredients. I stopped right there. I won't buy any feed that is medicated.

I am currently feeding Acco's "Beefmaker Textured 12" to my show bulls and heifers. I'll let you know how I like it. I'm also feeding it to a couple that I'm going to butcher.
