Yes, you wet and pack the fiber down, but you also have to make sure and do it daily and muck it out every time you are there. It is imperative that you remove the manure often.

Have you wormed him yet? Really need to work the hair he looks like he has it need to get it all trained to really pop. There are a lot of good videos out there that really give a good explanation on how to do it.

They need to get out at night, we had our steers in a stall during the day with fans running, calves were tied fans running from behind, if you have a gfi, and the calves can not get to the fans they should be fine. We kicked the calves out at dark into a large run, they need to get out and...

3 percent of 600 is 18 pounds, I would be careful feeding that much to her you might just burn her up.

Market Heifers or breeding? Heifers will get fat earlier than steers, need to feed slower than steers for market to make them hit 12 o'clock when you need them to.

I would try feeding 3 times a day and adding stabilized rice bran to your feed.

Cedar fiber is the best, I'm sure if you do a search for cedar fiber bedding you can find something in your area. We would put a 4-6 inch deep bed down, soak it and pack it tight, makes it very easy to keep clean, easy to remove the manure. We also used a stomp mat under the front feet in the...

we would start with about 2 pounds a feeding of the beet pulp, but we fed it dry mixed in the feed and let it expand in the gut

You could add it to, if he does not clean it all up then replace 2 pounds of grain with the Stabilized Rice Bran.

If this is for the steer you posted I would wait no need for it yet,

Stabilized Rice Bran, 2 pounds a day, will add a smooth finish to them, plain rice bran is not the same and will not give you the same result.

He looks like a decent calf not fancy but functional, what does he weigh? I would really start working his hair, he has plenty of it, it is amazing how much softer they look when the hair is trained. I tried to look up the nutritional value for your feeds, the Pro Form is low on both protein and...

Well she looks like she has plenty of cover on her, and you said she is due in 2 months, I think your best bet is to back off the grain and give her all the grass hay she wants, keep pushing her and you could end up with a big calf, as the calf develops she should fill in.

Post a picture, it will help to see what you are trying to do,

Try tying him for a few days, where he can stand and lie down, do not feed or water him where he is tied put the water and feed away from him. lead him to the water and the feed is.
