Fresh & Feminine (Sheep & Goat)
Metabolic conditioning supplement — drives fat redistribution away from the neck, chest, and brisket toward ideal show body profile; glandular meal complex supports hormonal fat metabolism; use sheep/goat SKU only
Always read and follow product labels for feeding and sheep safety.
Overview
Fresh & Feminine is Sullivan’s flagship metabolic conditioning supplement — the product that addresses a specific and common problem in show lamb programs: over-conditioned, heavy-fronted lambs that are lean in the right places but too much up front. The glandular meal complex (ovarian substance, anterior pituitary substance, adrenal cortex) works metabolically to redistribute stored fat away from the neck and chest toward the rib and flank where it creates better shape. This is not a steroid or synthetic hormone product — it uses tissue-derived glandular materials as cofactors in natural fat metabolism. Run daily from the start of the show program through the target show. Always purchase the Sheep & Goat 10 lb SKU — the cattle 40 lb tub is a different formulation.

Official Feeding Rate
- Rate: 30g (2 level scoops) per head per day
- Split dose preferred: 15g (1 scoop) morning feed + 15g (1 scoop) evening feed
- Supply: 10 lb container = approximately 106–151 days per animal depending on precise scoop weight
- Species: Sheep & Goat (use this 10 lb SKU — not the cattle 40 lb tub)
Sheep Safety
No copper in the guaranteed analysis and no copper in the published ingredient list for the sheep/goat formula. The glandular meal complex uses ovarian, pituitary, and adrenal tissue — these are naturally low in copper. Always confirm you are purchasing the Sheep & Goat (FFS) SKU, not the cattle version.

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It
Fresh & Feminine is a core tool for managing body shape throughout the show feeding program. The typical problem it addresses: high-performance lambs on good show diets tend to pack fat in the neck, chest, and brisket first — creating a heavy, coarse front end that judges penalize. Fresh & Feminine’s glandular complex metabolically redirects this fat storage toward the rib and flank where it creates shape and bloom, not bulk.
Show feeders — primarily cattle-experienced feeders who cross over to sheep — consistently use this as a daily foundational supplement from day one of the feeding program. Steer Planet forum discussion (primarily cattle context) confirms it is viewed as a “won’t go to a major show without it” product. For show lambs, the logic is the same: better fat distribution throughout the prep period produces a better-shaped animal on show day.
Stock Show University endorsement: Sullivan’s own educational content specifically recommends Fresh & Feminine as part of their show lamb preparation program.
Real-World Feeding Rate
- Daily from program start: 30g/day split AM/PM; not a product to “ramp up” to — use at full dose throughout
- Timing: The longer it runs, the greater the cumulative fat redistribution effect; 60–90 days of consistent use produces the most visible results
Phase Protocols
Weeks 12–9 | Begin at Full Dose
- Rate: 30g/day (15g AM + 15g PM)
- Purpose: Long-term metabolic influence on fat distribution; results are cumulative
Weeks 8–1 / Show Week | Maintain
- Rate: 30g/day — do not change; this is a steady-state daily supplement, not a phased escalation
Stacking Protocols
Fresh & Feminine + flaxseed (ground, 1–2 oz/day): Complementary fat quality approach — Fresh & Feminine manages where fat is distributed; flaxseed improves skin and coat condition. No conflict.
Fresh & Feminine + BOSS: Similar complementary pairing — BOSS adds surface sheen; Fresh & Feminine manages fat architecture. Compatible.
Fresh & Feminine + Restore Pro: Sullivan’s own recommended stack — Restore Pro handles hydration/performance; Fresh & Feminine handles conditioning/fat distribution. Both are Sullivan’s Stock Show University-endorsed products.
Budget Alternatives
- No commodity alternative fully replicates the glandular metabolic mechanism
- Reducing dietary energy density (less corn, more fiber) achieves some fat redistribution but much more slowly and without the targeted metabolic direction
- The 10 lb / ~120-day supply at ~$185 is approximately $1.50/day — expensive but within range of other premium show supplements
