He was wormed last month. Like I said, he was sick. He foundered. and it's hard to mix to much feed, so i'm not really sure how to go about that.

Thanks everyone, I think he was born in February or March, so hes around 13-16 months now, I don't know if that sounds about right..this is only my second steer lol. He weighed 1,000 May 27th. He is getting a mix of Payback's Kountry Buffet and Sweet Mix Plus with some medicated salt and about...

These pictures were taken March 28, I don't have any recent pictures of him, he was about 800 then. I will get some pictures of him tonight to put on here. Let me know what you think he needs and how he's doing, I know the pictures are hard to tell much of anything from and they don't do him...

Thank you CAB, Do you think that he will be able to be shown at fair, or am I just better off just trying to find someone to buy him for butcher right away. The Vet gave him a shot of Banamine and 4 or 5 megnalax buloses and like I said the salt that he said would help his stomach acid ( I...

So on the 7th I took my steer to the vet and had him checked out for what I thought was footrot, turns out his feet were perfectly fine and that he had foundered. He gave him a shot and some bolus's and he started to improve alot. Before he would set on his knees with his hind end standing up(...

Yeah, probably so. I might of misheard him.

I ended up taking him to the vet today, and they told me that he has basically floundered..They gave him a shot of banamine and some magnelax bolus and then gave me some salt stuff (can't remember what it is exactly) but it helps him digest his feed. and no sign of footrot, not sure if that's...

thanks guys! I have moved him from where I think he got the footrot, which was in a field with mud up to his knees. He is now in a totally different area and it isn't muddy. and I don't think there has ever been any footrot in the corral he is in. Also, I'm not sure about putting coppertox on...

My market steer has footrot, the fair is in two months and i believe he has had it for about a month...sounds like i havent tried to heal him, but I have. At first I just noticed him laying around alot because its been raining alot so I just figured he was staying out of the rain, but then it...

Even through being washed at least 3 times, if not more? I guess it is hair dye and it does stay in peoples hair for awhile ;)

Thanks guys :) I'm not really sure what the rules are and i'll look into it.  but I know some people do it, whether theyre suppose to or not lol. I'm not exactly sure how I would go about it though at the fair because we show three different days and I'm not sure how some people would feel about...

I'm a 4-H kid and this year is my second year showing a steer at the County Fair. Last year I had a red calf so hair color didn't mean much to me, but this year I have a black one but he is alittle sunbleached and he also has a red mother, so he naturally has some red color in him. I was...
