I'm feeding a Maine and Shorthorn heifer for spring shows. They are around 850 right now. I can't seem to keep them fat. I use Moorman's Showtec finisher along with the #1 mineral as a top dress. They get 20 LBS each everyday along with all the Bermuda hay they want. They were fat all summer but now seem to be losing the fat. I don't know if they are just going through a growing phase, or just not converting their feed. I don't see any change in their manure so I don't think it's feed conversion but I really don't know. Any help would certainly be appreciated.
