Great feed we stumbled across - Show Rite Elite Creep Pellet. It is excellent. THe calves love it and they are getting fat and growing like crazy.
R U looking for steer feed or calf?

I am wanting to feed to a couple of steers.  Looks like it will help with their appetite.

Before you go and spend all that money try some Stabilized Rice Bran, cost about a third of calfzilla. We fed it this last year, calves like it and really helps with their skin and hair.We try and get that healthy hair look by putting product on the hair, after a month of  feeding the rice bran the hair get a great sheen to it, from the inside out. I think it helped both their appetite and the weight gain too. We only fed 2 supplements , 2 pounds Stabilized rice bran and 2 pounds Calfmanna plus 20 pounds of feed and got 3.4 pound adg over 132 days.

Good luck

Very similar to our feeding program. We feed Calf Manna and the Stabilized Rice Bran and it works great. We just feed less show feed because of the age of our heifers.

Thanks for the tip on the Rice Bran but that generates 2 more questions..

1.  Where in the heck would you find Rice Bran?
2.  How much R.B. / day do you feed ?

It is promoted as a supplement for horses, Mooremans make it, Natural Glo is what we fed, do not know who it is made by. I would check with feed stored who cater to horse people. Remember it is Stabilized Rice Bran not rice bran.
We fed the pellets at 2 pounds a day.

We feed the one called Max E Glo which is a Manna Pro product.
