[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 462793, member: 7275"] I agree with CPL. Most show feeds are well balanced. The main difference is that what you are feeding your bulls more of a finishing ration. When we feed show heifers we feed a grower ration that has less fat in it. I prefer even a show heifer to have longevity. I want a little fat on her but not "cover". If Iam right a grower ration will have less fat or energy grains. We think we are smart at times and begin to use additives for hair coat and other such things. We will add beet pulp if we think they need more gut. Add a little soy bean meal for more protein. Gotta admit you can go broke following the fads. But there are things that you may want to add occasisonally. The best overall thing to do is feed them a grower ration with the right mineral blocks and plenty of hay. [/QUOTE]
