Just wanted to thank everyone for the help.  He has settled down considerably and my daughter is able to handle him again without him ripping the rope from her hand.  It is like a totally new animal.  (clapping) <rock> <party>

Thanks I will try that. I have to order the Calf calm. so that might work.

Thanks, I was considering that as an option as well.  Maybe in conjunction with the calf calm.  Gonna go get some and try it out this week and see if it helps before we make a final decision on showing him.

we can't take her.  We didn't sign her up and they won't let us bring her. 

My 10 yr old daughter has a steer that has been doing great up until now.  We are 1 week from fair and were leading him the last night and he just acted like he had lost his mind.  He was skittish and was pulling the rope out of her hand and running away from her.  He wasn't pushing or acting...

My daughters steer seems to be stuck.  I taped him on Jan 21st and I got 1045, taped him again on Feb 10th still 1045.  He was taped both times before I fed him.  He has been locked in a 16 + 12 stall until the first of Feb and now a 20 x 20 stall.  He seems to be filling out in the front end...

Sorry, but this isn't only your fair rule. All Pa 4-h market steers will have to abide by these rules in 2011.  It will just depend on how closely your county monitors you.  Last year we could use adhesives, I guess, but this year its gonna change. 

I talked to the vet today and she said ours was probably from lack of sunlight.  I have our locked in right now cause he keeps running through the fence.  I am gonna move his pen where he can get some more sun and hopefully that will help.  I am also gonna use the pour on wormer so we will see...

I have the same thing.  I think ours came from birds, we use green oil, but don't have any right now so I am going to get pour on.  If I can get out with this storm.  I thought about trying Fluid film to see if that would work. 

Heres the rule concering grooming products from the State Farm Show that we have to abide by:  IMPORTANT : GROOMING - 11. Use only grooming products that are approved for use on meat producing animals when fitting any animal for show. Unapproved products may contain ingredients that result in...

Thanks, I'm not complaining, its just really hard to figure out what to do when things are so strict.  Our agent handles all the animal shows at our fair (goats, dairy, sheep, rabbit, horse, beef, and hogs), she has a lot to remember and alot to do.  She tries her best and we all know it.  I...

our 4-h show is really, really small, last year we had 26 cattle including carcass and market.  There were only 4 in my daughters cross-bred class and 5 in her Jr. Fitting and Showmanship class.  We are a blow and go type of show.  We aren't allowed to use anything on our animals that isn't...

Okay, not the best pictures, but was wondering what you think of my daughters steer.  He is currently 925lb.  Feeding 8lb of Honor Show Chow 2x a day, 1/2lb of Vita firm 2x a day, and 1 bale of clover hay a day.  He is growing good, I think.  Our fair is the last week of July and he has to be...

This has been running around a couple years on the internet.  I believe it happened to an Amish Farmer in the Lancaster area a few years back, someone had reported him for animal abuse and this is all they could find so they fined him for unlawful distribution of raw milk.        You don't hear...

We have had my daughters steer since Halloween.  Last week he started going on a walk-about.  He started running through the fence and at first would stick around the outside of the fence, but Saturday he headed for the hills.  Luckily we were nearby and were able to get in  front of him and...
