Background:
750 lb Monopoly steer that will need to be 1325 by mid August. He is on Sunglo finisher feed. He is only eating about 15-17 lbs. per day. He is up and down, some days he'll eat 10 lbs, other days he'll clean up 20 lbs. and be looking for more. 9 days ago he got some oral B12 as an appetite stimulant. He is in a pen by himself with a 1/2 acre outside run. Grass is kept down in run so he isn't filling on that. 2 more calves of same age will be joining him before long and he has had calves in the pen with him before, separated to feed, didn't have much of a difference in intake. Dumped him a large square of 80% grass hay that he has free access too. Pen is clean and dry. Auto water is cleaned out once a week. Any suggestions?
