We are wanting to use Melatonin for a calming agent. On other posts, I had seen people recommending that grow and shine stuff (when using melatonin for hair) and also Omegatin (from tractor supply). Do either one of those work for calming too? the first show is this weekend so needing a fast acting something this time, next show is the end of july/first of august. Other then the Melatonin pills from walmart what do you guys recommend?

Melatonin is melatonin. I had a friend who had a steer with a bit of an attitude problem, they just filled empty bolus's up with the pills and hit him every day, I think it was about 40 (130mg) pills. He lost his edge was was easier to work with. If you use grow and shine start him the full dose daily it should help, if not bump it up by 20 cc each time until you see a difference.

We have used melatonin on a crazy show heifer and it worked really well. You just have to test and see what works best for your animal.  :)
