Description

In the show ring, “The Boss” is the ration used to control the clock. Showtime Maintenance is specifically engineered for cattle that have reached their desired muscle expression and finish but still have weeks or months to go before their target show. It provides the “fill” and volume required to keep an animal looking deep-bodied and impressive without the high-calorie surge that leads to over-conditioning.

Featuring a high-fiber base—often utilizing cottonseed hulls and beet pulp—this ration ensures the rumen stays expanded and healthy. While it is lower in energy than a “Finisher” or “Starter,” it remains high in quality, utilizing a 12% protein profile and a full spectrum of chelated minerals. This ensures that while you are “maintaining” the weight, you are still supporting elite-level hair growth, skin health, and skeletal integrity. Whether you’re slowing down a steer that’s getting too heavy or growing out a heifer to keep her feminine and smooth, this feed puts the control back in the hands of the exhibitor.

Products FAQ

When should I switch from a Finisher to Maintenance?

You should transition to “The Boss” when your animal has achieved the ideal “look” (muscle and cover) but still has a significant amount of time before the show. It prevents them from becoming “stale” or overly fat.

No. At 12% protein with balanced amino acids, “The Boss” provides enough nutrition to maintain existing muscle mass. It primarily reduces the excess energy (fat) that would otherwise be deposited.

Yes! This is an excellent ration for show heifers. It provides the fiber needed for a deep, “broody” rib shape while keeping them lean enough to maintain a feminine neck and shoulder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the product.

Calves can be introduced to 16% Calf Creep Feed as early as 4 to 6 weeks of age, once they begin showing interest in nibbling solid feed. Early exposure helps calves gradually adapt from a milk-based diet to grain and forage, supporting proper rumen development. Starting creep feed early can also reduce stress at weaning and encourage steady growth, especially when pasture quality is declining or milk production from the cow begins to drop.

I source my grain for animal and livestock feeds based on local suppliers. Often, I purchase directly from local farmers, especially if they produce seasonal crops. Additionally, I buy high-quality feed from larger agricultural supply companies when necessary to meet the specific needs of my animals.

To check the freshness of your feed product, start by examining its smell, as fresh feed usually has a natural, earthy scent. If it smells sour or musty, it could indicate spoilage. Next, check the appearance for any discoloration, mold, or clumping, which may suggest exposure to moisture. Feel the feed to ensure it’s not damp, as excess moisture can promote mold growth. Always check the expiration date, if available, and ensure the feed has been stored properly in a cool, dry place. Finally, look out for pests, as their presence is a clear sign of compromised feed. Regular checks and proper storage will help maintain the feed’s freshness and nutritional value.

Vital Signs in Horses

As a horse owner, you are the first line of defense. While your vet is the expert, you are the one who knows your horse’s “normal.” In an emergency, being able to provide accurate vitals can save your vet time and potentially save your horse’s life.

Horse Cooling Tips

When the humidity rises and the sun beats down, horses feel the heat just as much as we do—if not more. Because horses are large-bodied animals with heavy muscle mass, they generate a massive amount of internal heat, especially during work.

A Guide to Body Condition Scoring Your Horse

When it comes to horse health, “looking good” is subjective. One rider’s “fit” is another’s “thin,” and what looks like a “healthy curve” might actually be a metabolic red flag.

Body Condition Scoring Your Horse

Ever looked at your horse and wondered if that “roundness” is healthy muscle or a few too many flakes of alfalfa? While we all love a “shiny” horse, there is a fine line between well-covered and overweight.
