What is the best way to feed this product?  Do you get better results feeding it from start to finish increasing amounts as you go/or need to or is it better to feed it only towards the last 60 days or so from your target show.  I know Champions Drive is fed from start to finish - How do you...

Which one do you prefer for heifers and why? Does one get them fatter quicker?  What about keeping them fresh looking? Does one keep a fuller look than the other?

Anyone home yet to post who was Top 5 steers and heifers? :)

Somehow this got posted in the classified section earlier????, but Just curious for opinions how people have finished steers on Umbargers since it has only 3% fat, even though they do lower protein level.  Do you have to add extra fat to finish with and how much do you usually add?  Just curious...

Just curious for opinions how people have finished steers on Umbargers since it has only 3% fat, even though they do lower protein level.  Do you have to add extra fat to finish with and how much do you usually add?  Just curious because both Honor and Showmaster finish with around 5% fat (lower...

Is there much difference in the Champion Drive-Showbloom-Calf manna top dresses?  Do you feed these from start to finish? Also, if you are feeding a complete show feed, is it cost effective to use one of the above with Shag or Epic or will they basically cancel one another out in terms of their...

Anyone use or got any opinions on Purina's Champion Drive or Power Fuel?    What kind of results did you get from them?  What is the best way to use them.

Not to beat a dead horse in the ground about feed rations, but......... (I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for) We are looking at using this (trying to use a cheaper alternative mix than complete show feed because of $$$$) and are curious about the % of corn to oats ration when...

Need some help: How do you get the "fuzzy/carpet" look on the body?  We have a calf with alot of hair that is well trained to go forward/upward angle, but when he blow it forward/upward angle it lays flat perfectly (smooth weighted down look), but doesn't have the "fuzzy" look  to it.  How do...

How often and when do you implant your show cattle?  Is Revelor (sp) the best? 

I am looking for a general rule of thumb answer here (I realize it depends on the animal).  But On an average though, if you are top dressing with Golden Flo/Final Cover, any type of fat supplement, etc. how soon do you expect to see results?  Also (on average), if you purchase a calf say in...

I am looking for opinions/advice/info. on Umbarger Show feeds?  Pros/Cons??  I know there isn't alot of difference between the bagged show feeds, but I am trying to find some opinions on those who use or have used it.  I have been told it is the best bagged feed out there to people don't like it...

I know there is alot of different feeding supplements out there (Shag, Showbloom, Calf Manna, Grow and Shine, etc.) but I guess my question is when you start to weigh - effeciency vs. actual performance vs. cost of product,  which one do you typically get the "most bang for the buck" as the...

When you switch to "adding barley" what is your corn/barley %?  Also, I am curious as to why you also drop the cottonseed hulls.  Thanks for the info. in advance.

For those of you who cook corn, when do you stop feeding cooked corn to save hair when the weather gets warm.  I had a guy tell me that a good standard of thought is when the weather reaches 70 degrees outside, you should stop feeding cooked corn if you want to have any hair at all?  Is this...

I am looking for the advantage(s)/disadvantages of the early calf sales (May - July) for the 2009 show season compared to the post Labor Day fall sales that are usually the norm for the next show season.  I know we are in the middle of our current show season (with out county/state fair still to...

That is true.  I remember (back in the day) when my father went to their ranch and Kentucky Colonel was there and he stood, at the hooks,  they said either it was an unheard of 78 inches or 82 inches tall I can't remember which.  I also remember them saying he would throw calves around the 120...

I don't want to torch and set everything (including myself) on fire, but I am always looking for different perspectives/techniques/personally unique ways on how others clip the body of your show steers to give them the square full look?    Also, do you do anything special or unique in how you...
