Frequently asked questions

It helps to know what you're feeding and how many head; what feed you use now, and about how much per week or month; your hay and pasture situation; your bin size and where it sits on the farm; anything about delivery access — tight turns, narrow gates, low wires; the best time to reach you. Don't worry if you don't have it all — we'll work through it together.

Grower (13.5% protein, 4.2% fat, 15% fiber) is for show cattle in the growing stage and is built for growth and muscle development. Finisher (12.5% protein, 5% fat, 15% fiber) is for finishing cattle toward the end of the show season.

Use Winning Program Stuffed, a complete feed (13% protein, 25% fiber) designed to keep show calves growing without adding extra cover.

Clear away all vegetation and pour Godfrey's Whitetail Deer Mineral directly on the dirt in an area of high deer traffic.

It won't flow well through a spin-type broadcast feeder. Feed it free choice in a covered feeder instead.

Wild deer aren't used to eating from a trough, so start a new feeding program slowly and keep the feed as fresh as possible.
