Show-Rite Rite Tyme®
Sheep/goat-specific high-protein (40%) topdress for lean muscle definition, hide tightening, and improved shoulder shape
Always read and follow product labels for feeding and sheep safety.
Overview
Show-Rite Rite Tyme® is a sheep/goat-specific 40% protein topdress for lean muscle definition, hide tightening, and shoulder shape. It is formulated with elevated methionine (10.5%), lysine (1.2%), and Vitamin C (8,000 IU/lb). Circuit feeders are explicit about timing: start at 90–100 days out from the show, at the same time exercise begins. At just 2 oz/day, it’s a low-volume supplement run consistently throughout the final 3 months of the program.

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It
Rite Tyme is a long-run, low-dose supplement started at 90–100 days out and run continuously through the show. Circuit feeders correlate its start with the beginning of the exercise program (“start offering it when you begin exercising”). It improves hide tightness, hardens muscle, and adds shape and dimension behind the shoulder over time — effects that take weeks to become visible. It is always stacked on top of whatever the primary conditioning supplement is (Muscle-In-Motion, Star Shine, or Sculpt depending on the animal).
Real-World Feeding Rate

Phase Protocols
Weeks 12–9 | Foundation Phase
Introduce at 1–2 oz/day at the start of exercise — this is the typical introduction point per Show-Rite’s own guides.
Weeks 8–6 | Condition Building Phase
Continue at established dose. Running in the background while primary conditioning supplement (Muscle-In-Motion, Star Shine) handles the main conditioning work.
Weeks 5–3 | Fill & Shaping Phase
Continue. Hide tightening and shoulder definition improvements become more visible in this phase.
Weeks 2–1 | Final Prep Phase
Continue through final prep.
Stacking Protocols
Rite Tyme stacks with everything — it is a foundational background supplement from 90–100 days out through show day. It complements fat-building (Yolked, Muscle-In-Motion), fat-burning (Sculpt), and fill products without conflicting.
