This is my first time raising a steer, I’m a 4Her taking him to my county fair June 1st. Any advice on getting him to look his best?
As of 3/1 he weighs 1200 and is getting 18lbs show feed + 2 lbs stabilized rice bran and 2 flakes of grass hay per day. He’s been gaining about 2.75lbs/day
I’ll attach some pictures, but here’s my thoughts on him - I’d like to see him a little lower in the flank and more rib shape.
I’m considering adding cotton seed hulls, would that help? If so how much do I feed and for how long before the show?
