Winning fill

Is winning fill a good every day feed? What benefits do you get from feeding it?

Personally I think it is too expensive and too rich for everyday feeding.  We like to use it for treats, like a hand full when they walk into the grooming chute or when we put a halter on so that they get a craving for it.  Then the night before the show and day of the show, we can give them a couple coffee cans with their grain to fill in their middles.

My  steer  could use  more fill  and a bigger top  end.  Hes 700  pounds  right now.  I feed him a grower finisher  feed  with  stand alone  as a  supplement  and 3way  as  his roughage.  Should I be feeding anything else  to get that  bloom  that's desired in the show ring?  my fair is in  August

As long as he is getting about 3 percent of his body weight in grain a day you should be on the right track, I would worm him at least every 45 days. If your final goal is a fat steer just keep feeding him, I would not worry to much about filling him up as long as he is growing and gaining weight right now. Once he stops growing he should fill out for you.
Calves go through changes they grow, they fill out then grow again, you may just be in a growth stage.

. I have been looking for advice on this product for a while now and I think this is the most helpful and most cost effective way to do it. My strategy so far has been beet pulp every day morning and night and then adding depth charge to the ration about a month before a show and then I have been looking into winning fill as a product to use just at the show so using it as a treat at home seems like a good idea. Thank you I will try this

I like winning fill at the shows and as stated a treat or to get them to eat.  Works really well if a animal goes off feed.
