How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It
Struttin is used in the weeks leading up to a show and on show day to ensure animals move freely and powerfully in the ring. Stiff or labored movement is a common problem in heavily conditioned show lambs — the lactic acid reduction component is specifically aimed at helping animals that fatigue quickly under the pressure of showmanship.

Breed-Specific Notes
No breed-specific notes found. Leg movement and ring presence are critical in showmanship and confirmation classes across all breeds.
Phase Protocols
Weeks 5–3 | Fill & Shaping Phase
Begin Struttin if joint stiffness or movement issues are observed. Earlier introduction allows cumulative joint support to build before the show.
Weeks 2–1 | Final Prep Phase
Continue. Movement quality is actively assessed during legging-up sessions in this phase.
Show Week (Days 5–1)
Continue. Joint support and lactic acid reduction are particularly valuable as animals are exercised in unfamiliar pens and handled repeatedly.
Show Day
Use as directed for peak ring performance.
Stacking Protocols
With OPTIWIZE: OPTIWIZE focuses on structural joint/tendon repair; Struttin focuses on performance and lactic acid during competition — complementary targets. With Flex Appeal: Flex Appeal adds energy density; Struttin addresses movement quality — natural combination for the final prep phase.
Budget Alternatives
Generic MSM or glucosamine/chondroitin supplements can address joint health at lower cost. Show-specific competitors include MoorMan’s ShowTec Moorflex.
