THICC

Overview

THICC is Rule Supplements’ primary bloom and cover product, described as a balance of digestible carbohydrates and rumen-stable fat. It is part of the core recommended starter stack (alongside The Formula and TotalCare Sheep) and is designed to add condition and a visual “bloom” across all livestock species. Manufacturer provides two feeding guides: “Bloom and Cover” and “Feeding For Shape.”

How Experienced Feeders Actually Use It

THICC is used as a daily bloom builder in the base program — breeders report using it consistently from early in the program through the final weeks. Community note: adequate hay/forage is critical when feeding THICC — insufficient forage can cause runny manure and reduced appetite. One community note describes using it on keeper buck lambs and sale sheep preparation alongside Rival Complete Feed and The Formula.

Real-World Feeding Rate

• Typical rate: 3–6 oz/day depending on size (consistent with label)
• Introduction timeline: Not specified — appears to be started at project start

Common Deviations from Label

No documented deviations found. The manufacturer explicitly notes that THICC requires ample forage to work correctly — feeders who skip hay see digestive issues.

Phase Protocols

Weeks 12–9 | Foundation Phase

Begin as part of core starter stack. Weight-based dosing: 3 oz for lambs under 100 lbs.

Weeks 8–6 | Condition Building Phase

Primary phase for THICC — building cover and bloom. Maintain consistent daily feeding with forage available.

Weeks 5–3 | Fill & Shaping Phase

Continue to maintain condition. Consider pairing with Race Day beginning at 30 days out to manage shape alongside cover.

Weeks 2–1 | Final Prep Phase

Continue at maintenance rate. If animal is carrying too much cover, consider reducing or pulling THICC and adjusting with Race Day.

Stacking Protocols

Core stack: THICC + The Formula + TotalCare Sheep + Rival Complete Feed — Rule Supplements’ recommended starting program. Caution: Requires consistent forage/hay; rumen must stay full for THICC to work properly without digestive issues.

Budget Alternatives

Rumen-stable fat sources like MoorMan’s ShowTec Fast Fat or crude fat topdresses from other brands serve a similar cover/bloom function at a lower cost.
