My Steer has no Appetite

[red]

If he has tried 3 different feeds in just a few days, that is probably why the steer is not eating?!?!!?

I agree! keep him on one feed. Like I said earlier, can you get some of the feed he was suded to & mix it in w/ the new?

On the B-12 I give them a big dose in the muscle and it seems too work for me.

UPDATE....he is still not eating.  I contacted the breeder and the steer was on a custom finishing mix and he ate it REAL good.  I have tried 3 different kinds of feed and nothing seems to work.  I am going to give him a shot of B-12 tomorrow.  Does anyone have an idea how much I should give him and how often should I give him a shot?

Do not feed him alone.  Stick  another steer or heifer in the pen with him.  Take away grain and offer free choice hay.  Gradually add back grain that has been top dressed with brewer's malt.  Patience, he is in a new place.  He will come around.

Has your steer started to eat again?
