ShowBoss Fit N Finish
52% protein mini-pellet topdress for trimming front ends, building muscle mass, and creating lean expression — fat-burning and muscle-defining supplement for over-conditioned or heavy-fronted show livestock
Always read and follow product labels for feeding and sheep safety.
Overview
ShowBoss Fit N Finish is Kent’s high-protein fat-trimmer — a 52% protein, 4.5% fat mini-pellet designed to lean out animals and create muscle definition. Like Show-Rite Sculpt and Umbarger Star Glo, this product is the leanness tool: use it when animals have too much condition in the front end or need sharper muscle expression. The small 1/8” pellet format encourages intake. No added copper, explicitly safe for sheep.

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It
Fit N Finish is the Kent tool for lambs that are getting too much condition in the front end or need more visible muscle definition. Used when the lamb is “too much steer” — heavy up front, soft through the shoulder. The ultra-high protein creates muscle tone while the product doesn’t contribute significant fat. Feeders run it for 3–6 weeks leading into the show and monitor condition closely.
Real-World Feeding Rate
- Typical rate: 4–6 oz/day for most show lambs; 8 oz/day for heavier or over-conditioned animals
- Introduction timeline: 6–8 weeks out when condition correction becomes necessary

Phase Protocols
Weeks 8–6 | Condition Building Phase
Introduce if front-end condition is already ahead of muscle development — start at 4 oz/day.
Weeks 5–3 | Fill & Shaping Phase
Continue or increase toward 6–8 oz/day if leaning out remains the priority. Monitor muscle expression weekly.
Weeks 2–1 | Final Prep Phase
Hold or taper based on animal’s presentation. Discontinue if lamb becomes too lean.
Stacking Protocols
Do not combine with FATfetti at full rates — these products work in opposition (Fit N Finish = lean/trim; FATfetti = fat cover). If both are needed, use Fit N Finish at reduced rate with FATfetti rather than full doses of both.
Cross-Brand Notes
Comparable fat-trimming/muscle supplements:
- Show-Rite Sculpt — 50% protein pellet fat-trimmer
- Umbarger Star Glo — 40% protein powder fat-burner
- Sunglo Final Control — 27% protein pellet muscle preservation
Budget Alternatives
- Soybean meal — high-protein commodity option at much lower cost; lacks the palatability and mineral stack
