I feed a 4%

Sometimes when you change a steers routine they might go off feed for a little, but will get adjusted, depends on your steer if he needs higher fat% , I start to finishing my steers 120 days out from show that way I can make adjustments as needed. If he doesn’t seem to have enough fat cover bump...

Take my opinion for what it’s worth, but seems to me like he never gets a break! Let him relax and maybe only rinse him once a day or every other day. And up his fat content. And like medium rare said don’t turn him out in a big lot, he will burn to much energy

If you have never tube fed a calf I would not do it, got to know what your doing, otherwise milk will get in lungs and die

I would separate them for one day and give the calf 2cc of banimine. Then put them back together and see if he will suck

Very nice

Just wondering do you feed producers finisher 1 or 2?

I would say the steer is drawing up in his flank because he's losing fat should come back when you start full feed. Just my opinion

I started putting it in the refrigerator After cooking it for a hour. Makes it room temp. They seem to like it better that way

After cooking. So I guess that isn't much. The calf I'm feeding needs a lot of fat. Very hot where I am and they are not wanting to eat much. So If I'm feeding 24 pounds of finisher I could work my way up to feeding 16 lbs of grain and 8 pounds of cooked corn? (pop)

Just wondering how much do you feed. I'm feeding 2 pounds in the morning and 2 pounds in the evening. Do I ever need to feed more than that? I started 60 days out from our show. (pop)

I watch him close the other day. I tied him up in the wash rack and did not spray him with water. No swelling for thirty minutes. Soon as I sprayed his hock swelling started, so it's not the hard surface making him swell. I never heard of water causing swelling.

I shaved his hair to make him cooler for the summer. It's only one hock and it is not swollen when I put him in the wash rack but after I spray it with water it swells really fast. But it does go down in 30 min.
