    What's your "don't leave home without it" show box item??

    What is the one thing you must have in your show box when you go to a slick show??  We're competing in our first major cattle show (Houston), in a little over a week and we're packing the showbox.  We got the basics down, but know there's gonna be a vital ingredient we forget!! ::)

    35 days to show and Limousin steer refuses to eat

    35 days to show and Limousin steer refuses to eat

    I was wondering that myself.  That was why we tried to give him a week between each change once he started leaving feed.  He hasn't been the easiest feeder all the way through the project, and we'd go through this behavior about 1 week a month even without any feed changes.  We had someone tell...

    35 days to show and Limousin steer refuses to eat

    Any help is greatly appreciated! My son's Limousin steer has gradually reduced his feed intake over the last 3 weeks to where he is no longer eating much at all.  We have run the gamut of trying different things to get this guy eating and have reached the end of our rope.  He weighed 1132...
