Joint supplement questions

[shortii]

I was wondering if anyone uses joint supplements on their show cattle. Do you guys have a preference? Does it even work?

Thanks for your input

Lubrisyn works, if we think anything of a calf its going on lubrisyn

My heifer has been in a some what small area just back and forth walking spaced, she seems to walk choppy and heavy footed, do you think the lubrisyn will help her any?
also can you use the equine  lubrisyn for cattle

Sounds like she needs more exercise

Someone recommended Dumor brand Horse Joint Supplement to me for our show pigs.  I start them on it almost immediately after we bring them home- just one scoop a day (small scoop that comes in the bucket).

This year I started using it on a show heifer that was popping her pasterns.  One scoop a day and she is no longer popping.  A while back I had ran out and didn't restock and the heifer started popping again.  I restarted her on the supplement and no more popping!  It's reasonable - $33. for a 45 day supply.  At that price it's worth a try.
