Heres the deal guys im new to this whole furom thing but i have a pinzgauer steer and i need some help on feeding him, i have him right now on producer finisher and grower    my show is coming up in 2 months and he has to way at least 1000 and he's at 875 so if any one can give me some advice that would be wonderful

You have two months to go before your show, so you should be aiming at trying to pack as much weight on as possible. I would cut the grower out and get him eating as much finisher as possible. He should be able to gain 3.25 to 3.5 lb / day without getting him stiff from the hotter feed. If this is a concern you can feed some mineral that is high in calcium either in his feed or free choice. I  mix 2:1 mineral or 3: 1 mineral 50:50 with loose blue salt. They usually crave salt so they have to eat the mineral with it. The 2: 1 and 3: 1 refers to calcium: phosphorus in the mineral. If you can get him gaining 3.25 per day, he should weigh close to 1075 by your show day. He can't have many bad days between now and then so get him onto the finisher as soon as possible. Good Luck!

A steer weighing 875 should be on a straight Finisher feed.  You may want to even add some extra corn.  He should be able to gain at least 180 pounds in 60 days.  How much are you feeding.  He should be eating about 15 pounds, twice a day.  If he is not eating well, make sure he has plenty of clean water, and room to exercise (at least at night).

Rememeber Dont up his food all at once or he wount be feeling good in a week  and he will go off grain.....I would try about 1 lb a meal more until he has a little left over in the bucket then test that amount of gain for a few days.....then test to see if he can eat 1lb more,,,,,,try to get him up to 2.5 -3% of his weight........20-24 lb a day  800lb times 3% is 24 lb BUT DONT PUT 20-24 lb in front of him to start


hope this work and i think he will gain minium or 2-3 lb a day
