Adding Depth to heifer

PeeWeeChamp · Dec 12, 2011

Have a April Shorthorn Heifer... we need ideas on how to add depth and more fuller flank area.
We feed Depth Charge, Champion Drive, and a complete show mix (very similar to fitters edge)

Genetics is a big part of depth, but to get a fuller appearance fiber sources and roughages are your best friend. They take longer to break down so they keep them looking fuller longer. Beat Pulp, Cotton Seed Hulls, Hay, are all good choices.

Full Tank is another good product for that purpose.

beat pulp..Start her out slow then add more as time goes on. Let her have access to grassy hay at all time.
