Stretch is a multi-species pellet to increase the size and fill capacity of the belly. The page says it can be used on show day or as a holding ration in the days or weeks leading up to a show, by itself or added to the ration. It says one part Stretch and one equal part water expands the pellets to three times the original size, and that more water means more expansion. It says the product contains added probiotics.

Feeding directions
For cattle, feed 2 to 5 lb per head per day. For sheep, goats, or swine, feed 1/2 to 2 lb per head per day. The page says best results when fed dry. feeding_rate_min and feeding_rate_max are blank because one field cannot hold the swine range and the cattle range together, and the site prints the number without a unit. The swine range is in this section.
Label
Crude fiber is printed as a minimum of 26.0%, not a maximum. No medication or ractopamine line is on the page. No withdrawal is printed.
The exhibitor has to check the show’s current rules. The bag controls.
