Anyone use this product? Will it help a heifer that slopes slightly from hooks to pins?

I understand how competitive the showring is but all these additives remind me of all the atheletes banned for using performance enhancing products. Oakview makes a good point, if you can't take a champion heifer home and have her reproduce her type what was the point of the show. Aren't shows supposed to showcase your breeding program not your talent at modyfying the animal?oakview said:A feed to clean up the throat area, a feed to add depth and fill, a feed to add muscle dimension, a feed to keep the feet and legs sound, a feed to grow more hair, you can hire a massage therapist for your calves, you can have them pumped and prodded, you can have three people brushing on one calf 24 hours a day, every photo of a champion you see there's at least 15 people standing behind the animal that were fitters for the day, there's always 5 or more "owners", isn't it great? Showing livestock has evolved into a 24 hour a day, 365 days a year occupation. How times change! I've got a "cattle showing manual", from the 60's where one of the noted showman of the day is quoted saying, "We like to wash our calves once at least a week before the first show to get them used to the water." One thing hasn't changed, though. We still buy those "store window" cattle and too often wonder why they don't reproduce themselves.
