Has anyone else experienced feeding Glu Coat and have a calf bloat? We started adding it a few weeks ago at 4 oz per day. Calf bloated two different times.

Why do you suggest using the meal instead of the pellet form?

AAOK why the meal instead of the pellet form?

If you are at a show and you dont have time to break down and wash out the glue and paint on a steers legs but you want him to be able to lay down and rest for a while, what is the best way to be able to re-fit the legs so they will look good. Does white foam work? If so, what do you do?

WHAT IS THE BEST JOINT SUPPLEMENT FOR MARKET STEERS? WHAT ABOUT ANY PELLETED SUPPLEMENTS WITH CHONDROITIN, GLUCOSAMINE, MSM, AND HYALURONIC ACID?

So my next question is, why do some people body clip their steers in the spring when they are going to show them at hair shows later that season?

WE HAVE  STEER THAT HAS QUITE A BIT OF FUZZ (THE STUFF THAT WILL PROBABLY SHED OFF) ON HIS BODY. SHOULD WE BODY CLIP HIM NOW OR JUST KEEP COMBING EVERY DAY? WE LIVE IN NEBRASKA AND ARE STILL HAVING COLD WEATHER WITH SNOW. OUR FIRST SHOW WE NORMALLY GO TO IS THE FIRST PART OF JUNE. THANKS IN...

HERE ARE SOME RATIONS. THE GRAND 4-T FYER IS A PURINA PRODUCT THAT HAS ALL THE VITAMINS AND MINERALS PLUS SOME OTHER GOODIES. THE TOP ONE IS MORE OF A STARTER AND THEY GET HIGHER IN ENERGY/HOTTER AS YOU GO DOWN. CORN- 340 OATS- 335 LIQUID FAT- 10 LIQUID MOLASSES- 25 CSH- 90 GRAND 4-T FYER- 200...

I HAVE USED SHOW CHOW IN THE PAST, BUT IT IS NOW 200 DOLLARS A TON HIGHER THAN MY FEEDMILL MIX. SO ON TWO HEAD THATS QUITE A BIT. WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO BUY GLU COAT?

HOW MUCH CORN AND HOW MUCH OATS SOULD I PUT IN 1000 POUNDS?

We have a March born steer. We weighed him in on 2-12-11 and he weighed 920. He is bigger framed than what I like. I need to get him fat fast. The ration is listed below. Is there any fat supplement I can add to the ration? What is the maximum percent body weight I can feed without burning him...

THIS IS FOR AAOK, NEXT MONTH I AM GOING TO SWITCH TO THE RATION YOU HAD LISTED FIRST. SHOULD I FEED THIS ALL THE WAY THROUGH TILL AUGUST?

MY RATION HAS 9% COTTONSEED HULLS. IS THIS TOO MUCH? SHOULD I GO TO 4.5% HULLS?  I LIKE THE FIRST RATION OF THE THREE THAT WERE LISTED.

I AM GETTING OUR FEED FROM A MILL. IT IS 375 POUNDS CORN, 300 POUNDS OATS, 10 LIQUID FAT, 25 LIQUID MOLASSES, 90 COTTONSEED HULLS, 200 GRAND 4-T FYER. OUR FAIR IS AUGUST 1ST. NO WEIGH BACKS. SO HE CAN WEIGH OVER 1400 AND SHRINK BACK. IS THIS RATION OK FOR NOW?

We have a My Turn steer, born 3-03-10 out of an OCC Legend cow. Is there any ideas on slowing down the growht/frame on this calf?
