How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It
NewCo Lamb Feed is the backbone of the Show-Rite show lamb program from weaning/project start. Circuit feeders begin lambs on it at weaning or project purchase and run it as the base through the entire show program. Supplement additions (Muscle-In-Motion, Star Shine, Sculpt, Rite Tyme) are layered on top depending on what the individual animal needs.
Real-World Feeding Rate
- Typical rate: Fed alongside quality forage; quantity adjusted based on target gain and show timeline
- Introduction timeline: Transition onto NewCo at project start (as early as 4 weeks of age per Cooper Newcomb guide)
Common Deviations from Label
Circuit feeders reduce NewCo Lamb Feed quantity when targeting fat loss (substituting Sculpt or Star Shine to maintain intake while shifting the nutrient profile).

Phase Protocols
Weeks 12–9 | Foundation Phase
Introduce as primary base feed. Add Muscle-In-Motion (4 oz/feeding) for animals needing early bloom and fat cover.
Weeks 8–6 | Condition Building Phase
Evaluate maturity curve. Add Star Shine for early-maturing lambs; keep or increase Muscle-In-Motion for late-maturing lambs needing cover.
Weeks 5–3 | Fill & Shaping Phase
Introduce Sculpt (4–8 oz/day) for overweight animals. Reduce NewCo quantity if targeting fat loss. Introduce Rite Tyme at 90–100 days out.
Weeks 2–1 | Final Prep Phase
Fine-tune base feed quantity based on weight target. Add Stretch and Rite Factor as needed. Continue Rite Tyme.
Show Week (Days 5–1)
Continue base feed at maintenance level. Begin Swell protocol 48–72 hours before show.
Stacking Protocols
Show-Rite’s program places NewCo as the base and layers supplements by phase and individual animal need. Muscle-In-Motion → Star Shine → Sculpt is the typical maturity-curve progression over the top of the base feed.
