Question on feeding a show steer

    I've been out of steers for about 25 years my daughter is showing a short horn plus the end of July
    We are feeding grower feed from local elevator with out seeing this steer is there anything I should be feeding the steer weighed 800 in December
      Is there any top dresses or supplements you folks use etc
Any advice would be appreciated thanks

I have a full shorthorn steer and currently I am not using any supplements. I think you have to feed according to what he needs. If you need hair you could feed supplements for that such as shag in a bag. If you need better/improvement in structure you could try moorflex or similar things. Or if you need more of a full look try winning fill or moorbody. All depends on what your specific steer needs. Good Luck

Not seeing the steer but just going off of weight, guessing 1100 or more at this time, unless he is butter ball fat already, I would work him up to 2 pounds a day of stabilized rice bran, it will help put a smooth layer of cover on him and help keep his hair looking good.

If you could post a picture it would help determine if he needs more fat, filler or is right on track.

We usually fed the rice bran and Calf Manna for top dress the last 3 months adding filler to the calves that needed it.

Thanks
