Honor Show Chow by Purina makes two products that when mixed works well.  Mix Full Control with Fitter's Edge.

There is no need, get HSC full control!! I feed that with a little bit of beet pulp to keep them fresh, and full. Works great.

Why would you want to hold a Show Heifer that is going to a State Fair?  How old is she?  What frame score?  What does she weigh?

She is an Angus HF weighing about 1300, which she is about it perfect condition for what I would like her at. I would like to show her in open class and possibly the 4-H show too. Thought I could get away a little cheaper by mixing my own ration with oats, cottonseed hulls, etc.
