We tried Show Rite feed a few years ago since we have a nearby dealer. I will say it had by far the most quality problems of any of the bagged feeds we have fed. After a number of bags of moldy feed--in the winter--that was the end for us.RSC said:For the price and quality, I really like the Show Rite bagged feeds. I have used the Accelorator for developing bulls that we take to the Classic. The formulation for the last couple years has Amaferm in it.

I believe it's between $12 and $13 per bag. I would try Umbarger feed, but we don't have a good source nearby. I think there are several good show feeds--I would choose one with good, reliable local access.
I agree Freddy, but our ShowRite problems were in the middle of winter. I think in our case it was more a problem of a warehouse keeping the inventory "rotated". Like most people, nothing makes me grumpier than opening a (high priced) bag of feed and finding a moldy mess...no matter what brand it is. I'm sure not bashing ShowRite feed--- like I said earlier, there are alot of good feeds available.Freddy said:Your bagged feed is going to depend on your dealer an the availability an how much he sells ....We have uaed showrite an had great results but went directly to the mill an picked it up a lot of the time ...Hot weather is a problem keeping it fresh ...
