OK....question from the newbie here....because the Zilmax affects the joints (I believe one post said it causes less fluid??? correct me if I don't have that right) can you feed some sort of glucosamine additive (or fluid flexx?? not sure if I have that right either)  to supplement and maybe...

OK...looks like Showmaxx is getting great reviews.  When you say feed Showmaxx and nothing else...do you mean feed that as the sole ration or add it to his base feed with no other supplement?

This is our first year and we are 25 days out from show. The feedback on our steer is that he looks great (really fat) just needs some pop in his butt.  We have been advised that Showmaxx is the best out there right now and will do the trick and also have been told to go with Supermix.  So is...

Show Stopper...very nice steer and great pic! Thank you kindly for your reply and we have had others tell us about the neck as well.  I feel better now about the "gut" thing...I'm a girl and I know nothing about cattle so I just thought he looked really fat...but apparently that's a good...

I don't think you are being hurtful at all...just giving very honest feedback...I expect nothing less so thank you.  Now about what you described...I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about but I showed my husband and his question was does it have anything to do with the fact that our...

Could you please elaborate on the front end and what's wrong with it?  I appreciate your input.

I'm gonna try this picture thing one more time  ???

I have tried two times now to reply with a picture...grrrrrrrrrr >:(...I will try again...I clicked on reply then typed then clicked on additional options then attached 2 pics and it came back with errors as if I was starting a new topic????  Well I guess I should add "knows little to nothin...

Well I'll be...out of 85 views of this post...er..well 81 since 3 of them were me, including this reply.....only one kind soul has bothered to reply with at least some kind of help.  Now I know there are some extremely intelligent and savvy cattle people on this site...that's exactly why someone...

OK I have a question.  Our son is showing an American steer in a slick show in April.  To me (and since we have never had a show steer I don't really know what I should be looking for), he looks like he has a huge gut.  Just a big ole fat gut.  Are there any websites or pics that anyone knows of...

Diagrams would be awesome.  I have seen on here and in the research that I have been doing that using sounds or words seem to be more common than what I would have thought.  A lot like training a dog :).  I guess being new to all of this I didn't realize that a steer would respond to your voice...

OK...comin from the new family here in Texas.  Workin on our steer and lookin for tips, advice, etc to teach our son how to correctly set up his steer.  I personally don't have a clue where to begin...my husband is a little familiar, but the last time he showed a steer was 20 years ago.  So...

I just want to say thanks again to all of you who took the time to look at the pic or our son's steer, for your comments, advice, encouragement and mostly for your honesty.  We had tag in today and he was classed as we had hoped...Market American!  Lots of work to do still and hopefully I will...

Thank you again for all of you who have responded!  We are showing in Galveston County and yes, we too are hoping that he has enough ear to go American...if he goes Exotic...well...we know how that will go...lol.  We tag in on Saturday sooooo....keep your fingers crossed for us!  I hope to have...

Thank you for your honesty.  Like I said this is the first time our son has ever shown a steer.  We know very little about them and are literally learning as we go. Any and all advice, suggestions, or input we can get is much appreciated.  With that being said, is there anything we can do to...
