beat pulp

[bfn5005]

How early do you start feeding beat pulp before the show to give them that fuller look on show day?

 

[Bradenh]

the morning of at a jackpot. or the night before if its a market show. but we use winning fill

some feed it all the time, we use a product called x-pando, its in a pelleted form. apex is a good one and honor show chow is coming out with one soon called depth charge i believe. we feed everyday just a little more at shows.

Lots of ways to do it really.

We try to keep the calves eating as much volume as they will. We adjust the feed/beet pulp ratio according to how much or little weight they need to put on.  For the extra fill at shows, we start about a week out and start adding full tank to their feed.

We feed beet pulp as soon as we wean our calves and start them on grain.

Yes beat pulp is good, get them eating it just dont over do it. % of feed, check the purina website for feeding rations.

we feed it as a holder to a steer that is a little bit bigger than we want . Beet pulp makes them feel full.  mix it with your feed really good so the don't choke on it.
