For those that use it, do you feel that it works better 30,60,90 or 120 days out from you target show or is it more effective to feed it throughhout the entire feeding period - start to fiinish ????  I was given a bag of it to try as a fat additive  and I didn't know the best way to gain the...

For those who use this, how far out from your target show do you start?  I know many people have said to start slowly and eventually build up to 2lbs. Is this correct?  Can you feed it all the way through from start to finish?  How does this compare to say power fuel?  I know it is a heck of...

I have looked through the past threads and found many things to kill/get rid of ringworm.  Fluid Film Blue Star Ointment Tinactin and other anti fungal creams/sprays Topical Fungicide Shapley MTG Vagisil Vetericyn Iodine Bacon Grease Goats etc. My question is do you have to scrape the...

Looking into using Full Tank - what is the best way to use it.  Not wanting to restrict feed intake, but looking for more "fill look" on show day on steer? Calf is around 725 lbs.  What is the best way to use it on show day? Thank you.

Need advice/opinions: We are feeding this to our steers for the 1st time (use Umbarger feeds), they are looking good/eating fine, etc.  My question is (for those who use it) when it is time to switch to finisher/add fat (if need be)/etc.  do you continue with the Sure Champ pellets or do you...

Need advice:  For those that feed showsteers Umbargers, have been told to start on breeder/grower until 650lbs and switch to cattle blaster, others have said best way to use this product is to use cattle blaster right from the start on a steer, then if he is getting too fat, then mix breeder...

What do you do with your steers?  Do you use breeder grower or do  you go straight to finisher when you bring them home?

Anyone have any experience using power fuel on steers from the start.  Pro's /Con's?  Thinking about using it as our only additive with umbargers early on until switching to a finisher feed/glucoat.  Any advice or opinions are welcome. 

Has anyone viewed the new Dave Guyer videos?  Any opinions?  Just wondering how they compare to the Steirwalt videoes?  Thanks.

I thought I read some where on here where it is 12% protein and 4% fat?  Does anyone know the exact protein/fat % when you had the feed made up - hoping someone has it?  I know it is for finishing steers, but if you add extra fat product or even the stablized rice bran, how close does this put...

That would be the Cayuga, Indiana show.  Thank  you.

Does anyone know the exact dates/times/etc. for this open show?

Looking to cut some costs and need some advice.  My question is we feed our steers showmaster grower and power fuel from purchase (sept/oct. for a target july/august fair) to around 700-800 lbs.to get early bloom on them and switch to showmaster finisher and glucoat the rest of the way.  For...

I heard/read/saw/was lied to (HAHA) that for every 6lbs of feed 1oz of golden flo raises that fat content of your feed 1%??  Is this correct?  If not, please correct me.  Is this something you can use all the way through or is it best used only in the finishing stage.  I am trying to find a...

I asked this same thing awhile back (before Glucoat really had a chance to be tried by alot of people) and got a few replies (opinions), but just curious now since it has been out awhile what is everyone's opinion of this product?  (just looking for more opinions)  Is it worth the extra $$?  Do...

Anyone got the steer/heifer results from Gibson Show in Princeton this weekend?  How was the turnout?

I kinda added this to the thread below about Dyeing, but after I did it I felt really bad about hijacking someone else's thread so I apologize to whoevers thread that is below.  So I created a separate thread -  I have a couple of questions about Dyeing: 1.  Is it better to Dye one complete...

A couple other questions  to add on to this........ 1.  Is it better to fog the entire side and then brush it in or is it better to do a certain section then brush and move to say middle of calf then brush, move to front then brush in,etc. 2.  What is the best way to do the neck (with its...

We are in the market for couple of fans to be used at shows.  Does anyone use those Durafans that are sold by QC Supply? If so, any pros/cons? Their tech. specs are real similiar to Sullivan's and they are alot cheaper.  They only downside is the fan cage is white instead of black.  OR is the...
