Not the best at putting it in words but when I watch the video, there is something about his front third that does not just fit together, he looks like he might break behind the shoulder as he matures and the his neck out of the shoulder placement is not ideal, he will be a heavy headed steer...

This is a Here I Am, we sponsored a few years ago he started out real green, in the end he packed on the weight and muscle and had incredible hair for a steer raised on a dry lot on a dairy in So-cal. We try to find calves that will be fat steers, room to grow, do not look like a finished steer...

looks like you did alright in your sale, I watched the Coor sale last night, just wow.

Most of your show feeds are balanced with mineral in them, usually only require hay, until the end then we start them on supplements depending on the steers needs.

Do you know your over all nutritional value of your feed, protean level, fat level, are you adding any mineral to your mix, have you compared your mix to commercial feed to see what their quantities of each ingredient compares to yours? You might have to much fiber or you may not have enough...

Not going to judge the calves based off one picture, their both young and green. I will say they both need to get on full feed as soon as you can and start them in the right direction.

If you clipped him now he would be pressed to grow the hair back by your show, hair has about a 90 cycle, you might try just clipping him like you would for the show now. I do know it you do clip him out you leave the leg hair, tail head and belly hair. Misters will help as long as it is a fine...

Unless it's freezing you can rinse them, always blow out completely, 3 to 4 tines a week with one of those being a wash, the last 3 months before the fair at least once daily. Routine, blow and comb out all the dirt and debris, rinse thoroughly rinsing the hair forward just like you would blow...

Could have had a reaction to the pour on, it could be a little rain rot as well, One of the steers we are sponsoring did the same thing after the pour on, treated him with medication we got from the vet and he is fine now. We think he had a case of rain rot as well.

Have the vet check him and remove what ever he has, and do it soon, see if the breeder will help with or pay for the procedure.

5500 running watts or above, double blower pulls like 38 amps, start one at a time.

He looks good, as long as he move well you should do great.

We never walked our like you would a hog, just worked on what you would do in the ring, and tied them with their head up for an hour or so to build up their endurance for standing in the chute and then the ring. By walking him you are burning off the fat you are trying to put on him. We had real...

I agree he has plenty of room to fill into, I am a little suspect of your math 1100 plus 185 puts him at around 1285, I would put him on stabilized rice bran, add 2 pounds a day to his feed, it will help add finish. I would also start working the hair he has, up and forward at a 45% angle. Even...

Bermuda or grain hay, alfalfa is to rich, calves should be getting their nutrition from the feed.

Water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon, if your steer had not drank prior to weighing him, and then drank before you weighed him the next time 10 galloons could make a 80+ increase, We always weighed the same time of day (Sunday evening) to try and get a consistent weight. Prior to fair when we...

Can I make some suggestions, I'm going to start with her hair, it needs to be worked more, it want's to lay flat, even if they don't have a ton of hair, worked hair that stays popped makes them look fresher in the ring. Second I would try to keep her head more strait forward, turned towards the...

any change with the calves, calf manna is a very good product and sometimes it will get them to eat because they like the smell.

What feed are you feeding, fat and protein content? I would back off the grain, just good hay for a few days and then start them out slow, 3 pounds each a feeding, with plenty of grass hay. Once they clean it up real well, up the feed a 1/2 pound a feeding. Do this until their up to full feed...
