I ordered a box and have 267 bucks in it between the product and shipping to use it on a firewater female with a sloppy front. Got it in and later found out that one of the ingredients is actually a generic lutalyse that will cause them to about the calf. And in my case her pregnancy is more important than femininity

Send me your address and pay the shipping on it an ill send it to your house for free, a full 50lb box

^for real I need to get rid of it

Great product, basically feed it year round, will take the throat out of one, not as much on brisket, have to be good a feeding it or you will take the heart out quickly, never had a problem with heifers aborting. last time i looked I thought it had  vitamins and minerals to help with breeding.

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.

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?

Wish there was a like button.....  A local breeder tells me a little extra leather goes with good performance.....  I'd rather have one that is sound and deep and thick and and grows and reproduces witha sloppy throat then one with a clean throat that doesn't reproduce or grow.
