So this year we have had the best year we have had in 4 years.  At this point we need some more fat cover in my opinion we are way far away from not being covered but he just needs that smoother finish.  Our county show is in 36 days. right now he is eating approx. 36 lbs of feed a day split in...

JUST WONDERING WHAT JASON CLEERE WANTS WHEN SELECTING. I HAVE HEARD THAT HE IS A BIG STRUCTURE TYPE OF JUDGE AND WOULD TAKE A CALF WITH MORE STRUCTURALLY CORRECT THAN FINISH.

I am feeding vitafirm I box twice a day.

Thanks for each response. Let me just start off by this I have a wonderful group of people that we buy from but I do not want to constantly call them. Truth be know I am a little anxious feeding him! I'm a perfectionist and want things the way it should be. This is why I have reached out to this...

Needing a little help, have a steer looking at using melatonin in for a bit of  a calming effect and hair coat . Can you guys tell me how much to use, how often and what mg? I bought 3 mg. I had a vet tell us once to use abt 20 tabs but i forget how often and what mg it was. Any help would be great.

so here is what the calf looks like today, i think it will be ok, i think he will show well and my son will only get better and gain more experience. thanks for the kind words.

OK, look people i did not intend for this to be a big blow up about who is better than who or a spelling or grammar lesson. When i speak of the so called " big dogs " I only mean those who are more experienced that use this club as a means and those who can really show well. I know that a...

Yes we kept over our steer from the county show in march of 09. He was 1160 then and we have continued to feed him the same.

So last year being our first year showing, we did well much better than expected our county show was in march we placed grand champion and grand jr showman i could not have been happier. With that being said, I would like to take my son to a few shows this summer not because we have a big head...

Well, I got home this morning and calf has ate all his food, looks as though he feels much better, guess it just took a couple of days for the sulfa bolus to kick in, the poop was smelling normal too!HAHA (clapping), I still would like to hear what others have to say about this though, any...
