It'll heal itself eventually. Just keep it clean. Unless this show is a major one this weekend, I sure wouldn't bounce him around in a trailer. I'd just leave him at home.
One of our Hereford steers has this knot on the inside of his right rear hock. It’s soft to the touch like an abscess. Anyone have any idea on what that could be or a treatment?
Best thing I did for a calf like that is hauled him to a jackpot and left him tied in the stall overnight. It changed everything for him From then on, as soon as he was stalled at any show we went to, he ate, drank, and laid down to rest right away.
We're new to the heifer game and will have 2 on feed this year (Hereford and Chi/Percentage Simmi). We've fed steers for 3 years and I fed them growing up. What do you feed them? I've read tons of stuff and it's all different. We feed steers Nutrena Beefmaker 12 to grow steers until we move...
