Bang for your buck... Rowe.  Beats Umbarger in my area by almost $4.  Does great on heifers... on the other hand, I think Umbarger puts the finish on...but is higher.  Good luck ;)

I love it. I think rowe feed is the best! especially the cates mixture! I have feed showmaster starmaster purina(worst feed I ever feed), and the amount of growth i get from rowe is uncomparable!

Not everyone has a feed mill in there area. I know for certain I dont so some customers rely on feed from the manufacture. I know I feed ROWE feed and my friend is a dealer in Michigan and is the only one, so a lot of perople dot know about it up there so I thought this poll might help others looking for a different direction in their feeding program that buys manufactured feed instead of a home mixture.
each day the bottom 2 will be dropped

thanks for the recognition! I don't stock a lot of feed (for freshness reasons) but I can get you any of rowes feeds within a week and I'd love to work with any new customers and would be happy to talk with anyone about any of Rowes feeds! Give me a call or pm me and we can get you set up with the best brand of feed for your show cattle!

For those that have used showrite, which product are you using? We have been wanting to give it a try but wasnt sure of the results. I see that they have the cruiser accelerator and throttled up, and nutribase. Looking for any pros and cons on these showrite products. Thanks!

This is the first year of using purina show show fitter's edge. It's been great. My steer has not been off feed, hair has been great, and he looks filled out all the time.

we use the nutribase, but if you don't have a feed mill accelerator is my goto feed,,it depends on where your cattle are condition wise,and where you want em,and how fast you wanna get em the,,throttle up is a great finishing feed,,,just plenty hot for calves I think

We live about 15 miles form Umbargers and fed their feed for years and love it. Can't really say much about the others since I haven't tried them.  I can drive 15 miles and get FRESH feed every 2 weeks so why switch to something that's been hauled in from somewhere else. With the different rations they have I have always been able to find a feed that fits any situation from creep to finisher.
