I have a shorthorn plus with very big feet/bone. I’m 60 days from my show and he currently weighs 1300#. Everyone who has given me feed back on him says the same thing - he needs more fat.
Right now he is eating 20# grain (he won’t eat more), 2# cotton seed hulls, and 2 flakes of grass hay per day. He is fed in 2 feedings at 6am and 6pm.
His grain is 13% protein, 4.8%fat
About 2 weeks ago we added 6oz of vegetable oil (he wouldn’t eat golden flo or stabilized rice bran that has been suggested, but he eats the plain veg oil no problem).
Any other suggestions? Will the veg oil be enough to fatten him up over the next 2 months?
