Thanks, just pulled him off 14% and now on 12%. Ive sprayed him before with prolate lintox before. Will give him another round or 2

Thank you for your resonse

Can grab the hair with my fingers and pull it out

Not sure what's going on here.  Temps are 40s day and high 20s to low 30s at night. Steer had big hair.  Now I can literally scratch him with my finger nails and hair is falling out all over. No bare patches but if I scratch one spot the hair just falls out to about a 1/4 in long. Any help would...

Never thought about the caloric intake with the new feed. Never thought of it like that  Makes all the sense in the world.  Noted...Thank You

If this is more of a breeding forum?  If so don't want to post unrelated things.  Looking for a educational question forum.  If so could someone guide me to a link or name of a site. Thanks again

Thank you.  Hadn't seen that in the 3 months we've had him.  Another quick question.  We've switched feed brands and have him on a finisher now. We did it slowly and he's been on the new for about a month. He's just not as of aggressive as he was on the old feed. Same feed amount but he leaves...

Came in to feed the steer this morning.  Noticed as he was laying there that he seemed to be burping a little passed major gas and could hear his stomach gurgling.  Dumped feed and he started to get up but layed back down and started doing like a rocking motion.  Forward as to get up then rock...

Our b/w steer has a white trim at the bottom of both flanks about 1" wide throughout the whole flank. His flanks are dropped nice but the white makes him look very high. We are just going to spot paint black. Must easier IMO

I went 3 feedings mixed half and half with both feeds then put him on full ration of the Showrite. Thought we had it licked as he ate the first 3 feedings with np.

  Happy Thanksgiving everyone.        Gotta calf off feed for the last 2 days. Switched him over from Purina Fitters Edge to a finisher Showrite Throttled Up. He ate it for 1 1/2 feedings (approx 33lbs total) then done. Won't touch a ounce of it. I pour in into his feed trough and he starts head...

I definitely agree with the non-exercise theory. He was diagnosed with Hardware disease. Got a penetration of his heart sack. Temps were way up for awhile. Was taking temps daily and giving nuflor gold every 4 days for a long while. If he was tied or walked any small amount of time he got...

Yes, that's probably what it is. He's been confined due to his illness. Still keeping a eye on him. Will turn him out in a day or so. Didn't think about that. Thanks

Thanks. His nose is normally about 3-4in off the ground coming at you. But will get 'er a whirl

Got a show steer that's been sick here the last month and 1/2 or so. Hadn't been able to work, walk or tie him for that reason. Well, he's come back around the last week or so and has that "I feel good" look on his face. Gets pretty aggressive at times. I think he's playing but sometimes makes...
