You will be in my prayers- don't rush back too soon.  It takes the brain a while to recoverfrom an injury like that. 

With the full tank and winning fill do you start them on that before the show or just the day of?

Looking for advice to see what the best way to keep a calf looking full at the show.  We show in less than 2 weeks and will likely have to order any products.  Thanks.

Thanks all for the advice.  I have seen some products advertise to increase muscle when fed for 20 days prior to show, but they are expensive- just over $100.00.  Just didn't want to spend that much money unless someone had a good experience with it.  If I can find some winning fill we will...

Savaged- who makes winning fill tank and/or full tank?

Thanks. This is her senior year so we are hoping all goes well.

Good one VC-  I  like that.  I'm afraid the calf doesn't have enough fat to supplement with showmaxx.  We are a slick show, so cant really do alot with the hair to benefit us.  Savage- what does winning fill/ full tank do? Thanks all for taking the time to respond.

Our county fair will be in 3 1/2 weeks- My daughters steer is a nice looking steer but I think he needs a little more rear.  He is eating and gaining well.  I know there are alot of supplements that you can feed in the last 3-4 weeks, but are any of them able to really help?  They seem pretty...

I really don't think it's a trust issue- the calf doesn't have an ounce of meanness in him-  he's not scared of us at all, and enjoys being scratched/rubbed on.  It doesn't matter if you pull foward or sideways, maybe he's just stupid.  I will try the water thing and see how that goes.  Thanks...

The calf is 6 months old.

Need some advice.  We are breaking a calf and everytime you go to pull on the halter he falls over on his side and just lays there.  What's the best way to handle this?

Where in Texas are you?  Could you please email me prices as well.

Skin/hide is much better- we only shampoo on saturday now and mixed the conditioner with vinegar and things are much better.  Thanks for all of the advice.

he gets 1 block of coastal daily.

We have a steer that we will show in 13 days- he weighs 1440.  What is the best way to hold a steer and keep him looking fresh.  He is eating 15lbs/day along with hay.  In our county show you don't do well if you weigh in over 1400.
