I love the funnel cakes and pronto pups, but my favorite at the Kansas State Fair is probably the roasted corn.  That stuff is awesome.

Thank you.  Now, convincing him it won't happen every year is going to be hard, because this was his first steer project.  But it's sure going to be fun!

Check out the Hair Growth 101 thread in the Hall of Fame.  And wear out a couple of rice root brushes. Good luck.

My son won grand champion market steer at our county fair, which is not easy to do.  We have some very good steers here.  I just want to say thanks to everyone for their thoughts and advice, not to mention the Hall of Fame discussions.  I learned a lot on this board, and now my kid is bugging...

(clapping)  So true!

Thank you, linnettejane.

Treat for it and watch him. He might have a secondary irritation that you'll have to take care of.

That could be.  All I know is the root end was hard and the other side looked like an open seed pod with four pockets, and it was extremely soft.  It was a dark, nasty gray color, too.

Yet another reason I like the way the primaries went.

My son went to feed his steer this evening and found what looked like a tooth in the feeder.  I didn't get a pic, and the boy lost it.  I don't think I could adequately describe it if I tried.  Can someone direct me to a site or book that will give me some information about bovine teeth?  I...

Bulldaddy is sooooo right.  If you can, find someone who really knows cattle to help you.  We have a farmer and his friend helping us.  The farmer's friend is a showman and a cattle vet, so I know we're in good hands.

TMJ, thanks for the reply. He was bought.  I'm interested in genetics, but I'm not quite ready to raise cattle. He is never on concrete, so that's not the problem.  I kind of wish it were.  The vet said give him more exercise, and that it was not anything to really worry about.

Thank you all for the advice and kind words.  I will not be draining his hocks, cuz I'm not a fan of needles and joints.  (I'm a horse person and I've seen joint injections go wrong.)  He is not stiff at all; in fact, he moves very well. Thanks again.  You guys rock!  I love this forum. ...

No heat in the joint.  At this point, I'm just not sure what to think.

My son's steer has swollen hocks.  The left is worse than the right, and the swelling is mostly on the front of the hock and the ball of the hock.  He moves normally and is still playful and energetic.  Any ideas on what can cause this.  I should probably tell you that he weighed 1175 on...

I bet the Vortex 2 guys had a great day.  I hope they learned something.  I'm happy to say that the sun is shining now  (thumbsup)

Yes, you spelled it right. ;D  They are some extremely tough dogs bred for lion hunting.  Good choice.

Within the last hour, two tornado producing storms passed through our county.  Gotta love SC Kansas!!!  <rock>
