she weighs right at 1000. Birthdate is April. On show feed, with a scoop of crack corn, showbloom, and winning fill. About 18 pounds twice a day. Eats it good. Real good heifer that cost me a lot so i cant afford to cut any corners on her. Every show we go to she does well except for the thing they would change is "drop her flank a little, add some depth of body, and some condition." Any suggestions? Our target show is the third week of July.

beet pupl or a filler product will help drop her flank, the corn will help with the condition.  A pic would help tremendously though so we can see how much her flank needs to drop.  On heifers I like to keep them mostly on good hay and feed a little highly concentrated feed, your mix sounds good, I would add free choice hay if you aren't already and you should be ok
