ShowBoss Final Drive

Overview

ShowBoss Final Drive is Kent’s primary protein/muscle topdress — a 35% protein mini-pellet that builds muscle while helping maintain cover. Unlike Fit N Finish (which trims fat), Final Drive is the “add muscle without losing cover” product. It combines multiple high-quality protein sources with egg product (amino acid quality marker), brewers yeast, L-Lysine, NutriVantage Nutrition Optimizer, Kent Natural Yeast for gut health and bloom, and ShowBloom. Designed as the muscle-building supplement for all show livestock including sheep. Available at Tractor Supply.

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It

Final Drive is the workhorse muscle supplement in the ShowBoss line. Used when lambs are in the muscle-development window and need more expression through the loin, rack, and leg. The egg product and L-Lysine components add amino acid quality. ShowBloom + Kent Natural Yeast also contribute gut and bloom benefits, making this a dual-purpose muscle and gut health supplement. Commonly run alongside FATfetti (fat cover) for a complete condition stack.

Real-World Feeding Rate

Phase Protocols

Weeks 8–6 | Condition Building Phase

Start Final Drive as the protein/muscle layer of the supplement stack.

Weeks 5–3 | Fill & Shaping Phase

Continue at full rate. Pair with Lowdown for fill and FATfetti for cover.

Weeks 2–1 | Final Prep Phase

Continue through final prep for muscle expression at show time.

Show Week (Days 5–1)

Maintain at reduced or full rate to keep muscle tone sharp through show day.

Stacking Protocols

Core ShowBoss stack: Gale Force 18DQ base + Biomend (gut) + Final Drive (muscle) + Lowdown (fill) + FATfetti (cover). Final Drive is the protein/muscle layer in this stack.

Cross-Brand Notes

Comparable muscle/protein topdresses at lower protein than Fit N Finish:

• Show-Rite Rite Tyme — 40% protein, methionine-rich
• MoorMan’s ShowTec MoorGame — 28.5% protein, 50% fat (heavier on fat)
• Sunglo Final Control — 27% protein, muscle preservation focus

---

Budget Alternatives

• Soybean meal top-dress — protein at much lower cost; lacks the yeast/NutriVantage/ShowBloom stack
• Commodity egg product (dried) — quality amino acid source at reduced cost
