This is my steer I'm showing this year. Hes registered shorthorn.  Weighing probably 1150 not sure. He is on the shorter side.  What do you think about him?

beefy! (clapping)

When is your show?
I would get him on a finisher (lower protien) and some Stabilized Rice Bran, he has a good frame, I would just start to soften him up a little. He looks like he could put on another 200 pounds and carry it easy, just needs some fat on him to go with it.

I love your steer!! This is my first year showing a shorthorn and I love him to death!!

Is he the guage steer?  With some hair and fat on him hed be a beast-with the right kind of finish hed prob. be pretty tuff as a slick shear O0

My fair which is also a market show is at the end of July so we are just starting to push him. He has some hair but its pretty warm here so I don't see him gaining g to much more hair.  He has all he wants for feed. Its a corn grain molasses and mineral mix.  And yes he is the gauge steer

I'm also showing him at another show in two weeks. Do you think he has enough condition to do well at the closer show?

Nice bones i would say it needs a bit more depth.

After getting clipped. First show is next weekend.

You have a very nice looking steer. I would get with your feed guy and see what you could do for some quick cover like what was mentioned before. He looks like he could be a pretty competitive county fair steer.  <beer>

Your steer has a lot of the right parts!! Best of luck at your show, keep us posted on how you do!!!

 

[katie_k]

Thanks so much. This was my first time clipping and will be my first non county show!

We got fifth in showmanship and seventh in market.  I think we could have done loads better if he had behaved in the ring.  The judge really liked his frame and bone but needed more condition.

I really like your steer but like the guys said above f you could give him some " shape " he'd be pretty darn nice! But all that would take is the right feed mix, when's your fair?

My fair is the last week of July.
