Herd Master
Not usually... they still have to have some form of roughage to go with the hi protein grain. Added rice bran, coarse hay, cotton seed hulls--something that will add volume to the protein derived muscle. Especially important in show heifers if they are to be retained as part of your future breeding herd or shown & sold as a breeder at auction. Key to any feeding and growth program is a "balanced" ration but in show animals, the timing is a little different. Been a lot of years since I had anything to do with showing a calf, but we added more fiber in the last 90 days before show season.
