GODFREY'S SHOW CALF FEED

[gmoo]

We fed it last year. We added some corn too it in the end. If I am not mistaken, it is not medicated, so if you want to add some its your choice. It didn't give them that "fill" though, so we also added beet pulp ( I hear "fuill tank" does the same thing) It is a okay feed, but we are using a home mixed feed this year, the Godfreys was too hard for us to get, we don't have a local dealer.

@Weaver: I feed beet pulp and full tank. Beet pulp is a great filler feed and will blow them out, but FT expands waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy more than beet pulp if you measure it dry by volume. Also a lot of cattle will eat it at shows when they won't eat anything else.

We won some at the Futurity and our calves wouldn't eat it. I'm sure it's a good feed if you start them on it from the beginning.

Ha, seems to be a going thing, we won some at the Houston county young farmer show too.

It is a drier feed, some carolass (please excuse my spelling) should do the trick.

I started feeding it this year i used to feed show master but godfreys 4 dollars cheaper and i show 5 head and that 4 dollars a bag makes a big difference. i like godfreys all my cattle eat it just as good as showmaster even though showmaster is as wet feed and godfreys is dryer. its not medicated and doesnt have quite as much protein and fat as showmaster but all you have to do is add some supplements to fix that problem.

They really support the Juniors and I admire that. We use a feed from Brown Milling called Cleary 2 and it is the best I've fed.

I think I know who came up with that ration =) We have our own little mix that we put in with some my ag teacher gets from montezuma. I like it, my biggest steer need to belly down, and he has. Plus it is really cheap.
