[QUOTE="VCC, post: 1070787, member: 6399"] For the last 3 months, we feed Stabilized Rice Bran, a pound a feeding (2 pounds a day). It is cheaper than a lot of the other fat supplements, is not hot, and lays down a nice smooth layer of finish. I think it helps get one where you want it, you put your hands on them they are finished, smooth to the touch and they have a look to them. Along with the finish it really helps put a shine to them. I know there is always the argument about hair, I will like to add that the daily process to getting good hair has some secondary benefits, when you’re working to get hair you are also spending time with your hands on the animal, always a plus, even when a calf does not have a ton of hair, they look fresher than a calf who has not had their hair worked. It will help when it comes time for showmanship, when you spend 2 hours a day with your calf, have handled it as many time as you have it show in the ring. When it comes down to the end if you have a calf that sifts it way to the top, the calf with a cleaner fresher appearance will beat an identical calf, that has not had the time put into the hair. Their lines are just a touch smoother, the calf looks softer made, and a tough younger (fresher). Last but not least, the extra work never hurt any of the kids, keeps them out of trouble and away from the TV and Computer. Good luck and have fun with this years projects. [/QUOTE]
