Umbarger has always been the best for us, hands down. After that, probably goes ShowRite, Showmaster, and Purina..those 3 are pretty close, but in that order.

DO NOT USE SHOWRITE the feed does not have bovatec or ramensin, it is not even medicated. I used it last year and I screwed myself. My steer ended up getting cocidiosis and I had to treat him. So whatever you feed make sure its medicated, please learn from my mistake!

A new great feed from Purina is IMPACT Club Calf. The commercial version has been used for the last few years with great success in Texas. A few breed Champion at Majors on just a handful of people using it. It is a spinoff of the commercial version and uses some unique ingredients such as fish oil. I like the Fitters Edge and Finishing Touch from Purina also but nothing makes cattle look like they do on IMPACt club calf. It is fed a little differently so contact your local rep for guideance. Only available in Texas I think.
