I have been wanting to try this product because it is advertised to add a full look without adding as much weight as drenching.  I oredered a case to try out at some steers shows to see how it works.  Well it came in today and the instructions read its for swine, goats, and sheep.  So my questions is how much do you use on your cattle and do you start 24 hours before show as indicated on the package?  I really don't want to mess with something I have to start that far ahead of time with.  I use refresh now for a full/fresh look but like I said I'm looking for a full belly without the added weight.  I don't mind the 24 hour thing at a terminal show but want something to use now when there is a weigh back.  HELP??  Thanks

We use this product a lot and love it. We just use it when we put them in the chute to start fitting them usually mix one to two bottles in a quarter bucket of water if they will drink it or we will drench them with it. Best advice is to try it at home on the calf. Also it forms a gas so the fill will be higher in the gut than if you use water

We've used it alot on pigs.. even sprinkle it dry on the feed to encourage them to eat if needed.  It does work - at least on them..

It's been along time since we've used the soda, so I don't recall how much Dad had us use. How much would you use?
