Best Heifer Complete Feed ??

[ATOZ]

I have been mixing my own ration but feel that I need more fill and volume on 2 of our better heifers.The heifers where born in Jan & April of 2008 both weighing around 1100# and eating 20 # per day. My question to all is ... What has been the best complete heifer feed ? I have access to all the majors ( Kent , Purina, Umbarger, Showmaster). We start backing showing the middle of June - August.

Thanks

Doug, we've had the best luck with Umbarger's and Show Rite.  We are mixing the Umbarger with our own custom mix, and we're getting really good results.

We have always used Umbarger.  We loved the way it gave the heifers volume without getting them too fat.  If you feel you need additional fill you can always add Kents Winning fill the week of the show.  We have even thrown it to them the few days we were at the show.  If you have a picky eater that may be a problem it does have a distinct odor.

good Luck
