I am pretty sure with the Bob May Family that the genetics were not overlooked.

: When ingested, absorption is 30% to 60%.
: Even
: at 30% you get more melatonin in the system
: in 3 days with ingested melatonin than with
: implants over the 3 week suggested
: period----provided the implants were handled
: properly, implanted correctly and are the
: largest on the market. You know your calf is
: getting the melatonin when you personally
: give it to him daily. The Grand Steer at
: Kansas City was fed Grow and Shine and had
: 3-4 inch leg hair.

: Implants------- 90 day supply $225-
: melatonin
: administered 225 milligrams.
: Grow and Shine- 90 day supply $180-
: melatonin administered 9600 milligrams. And
: you still have 3200 milligrams (1 bottle)
: left over.
:
: I admit we didn't have but 18 milligram
: implants when we used them but it is easy to
: see why it didn't work over half the time
: when you see the amount difference in
: melatonin administered.

: 25 mg for $25 a piece. We have seen best
: results if 9 are used per animal. Put in
: fatty tissue - 3 implants 3 months from
: show, 3 20 days later and the final 3 20
: days after that.

: Implants were inconsistent for us. Our guys
: tell us that its because it is not enough
: melatonin for a large animal. The implants
: are made for goats and sheep. No one can
: ever seem to get them from a consistent
: source so we always questioned the way they
: were handled as well. One jock even pulled
: them out of his pocket to sell them to us.
: Implants are made for small animals and are
: expensive per milligram sometimes costing
: over a dollar per milligram. Wallmart sells
: melatonin for pennys per milligram and grow
: and shine sells it for less. Our guys say
: 100 miligrams per day for a larger animal so
: you can see its nearly impossible to get
: enough melatonin from an implant.

: Does anyone know where I can get some
