We tend to to use hulls to adjust stool consistency esp before we hit a show.  We always keep some on hand and use it in the feed so they know the texture, but when things get a little loose on the back end of the digestive process, we will add more to the ration as a top dress.  Not varying...

Attaching a link to a bull that Genex carries.  Have seen a few calves and really liked them.  He might be worth a look.  http://genex.crinet.com/beef/index.php?action=DETAIL&code=1AN01298&lang=EN

Anytime..... (thumbsup)

Appetite Express worked better for us for getting calves to pick up eating after going through a slack time.  Used Vitamin B Complex but more as a general kick in the pants for lethargic animals that aren't displaying sickness on picture day! 

Is there a chance she has had pneumonia?  If they get a case when young it can cause scar tissue in the lungs and a cough.  Have had a couple of show animals with the same issue.  No temp, no discharge, just a raspy cough.

Wouldnt hesitate.  We showed a a heifer for two years that was blind in the show side eye.  She caught a weed stob when around a month old.  Had to really keep an eye on stuff blowing into the eye as it seemed to get irritated easily.  She did well in the ring and no one was ever able to tell...
