Show & Glow
28% protein pellet for coat quality and bloom — linseed meal, dried whey, high omega-3 and omega-6; supports skin condition, hair shine, and overall bloom for all show sheep
Always read and follow product labels for feeding and sheep safety.
Overview
Show & Glow is Kalmbach’s bloom and coat pellet — 28% protein built around dehulled soybean meal, dried whey, linseed meal, and grain products. The linseed (flax) base delivers high omega-3 fatty acids, while dried whey adds palatability and protein. The omega-3 and omega-6 combination specifically supports skin condition and the natural hair/wool shine judges reward. At ¼–½ lb/day for sheep, it’s a moderate-rate supplement. Available in both 10 lb and 50 lb packages, making it flexible for small-project buyers.

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It
Show & Glow handles the coat quality and bloom work at a lower price point and simpler ingredient profile than Hair Magic Plus. It’s a starting-point coat supplement — linseed meal and dried whey are classic show-circuit coat ingredients. Feeders who want a straightforward omega fatty acid + protein bloom supplement without the full biotin/selenium yeast stack of Hair Magic Plus reach for Show & Glow. Some feeders stack both (Show & Glow for base coat nutrition, Hair Magic Plus for high-Vit E coat fortification).
Real-World Feeding Rate
- Typical rate: ¼–½ lb/day for lambs throughout the program
- Introduction timeline: Weeks 12–9 for maximum coat effect

Phase Protocols
Weeks 12–9 | Foundation Phase
Start for early coat and bloom foundation work.
Weeks 8–6 through Weeks 2–1
Continue at ¼–½ lb/day as daily coat supplement.
Stacking Protocols
Can stack with Hair Magic Plus for a more complete coat stack (Show & Glow for omega base + Hair Magic Plus for biotin/Vit E/selenium fortification). Pairs with Hard Drive for muscle and coat simultaneously — the linseed in both products contributes omega fatty acids from two directions.
Cross-Brand Notes

- Sunglo Epic — 12% protein; Diamond V Ice Plus; wool density focus
- MoorMan’s ShowTec Fast Fuel — wheat germ/rice bran; coat + palatability
