Does kent winning fill help with anything else other than just adding more gut? And how do you know if your steer needs more gut? And can I start feeding it 30 days before show? Thanks!

I am curious why at county fairs the steers walk like they have a cork up their butts and why do these steers end up at the top of their class. I thought judges lilked cattle to move freely and naturally.Out of 6 steers that i saw 4 of them walked this way.

We have been topdressing healthy glo horse feed for allmost 2 months now I think that is the same thing.

We have 40 days left till fair our steer weighs 1360 our problem is he needs more cover over hiis ribs. What can we use to help finish him out without a lot of weight gain. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sorry forgot to say in advance thanks for the help.

I would like some help figuring out the protein/fat in our ration. It is.......          360# cracked corn                              100# Kent 34% baby beef                  60# soyhull pellets                              20# linseed pellets                              40# cottonseed...

What kind of supplement can you feed a steer to make him more muscular looking without burning off all his fat cover. Someone said to try showbloom but no one carries that where we live. What about calf manna or natural glo? Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

We weigh him every month. From March 3rd to April 3rd he gained 95#. I posted what we feed earlier do you think that is a good recipe? We plan on starting him on showbloom sometime this week too.

Yes we did raise the calf. what do you mean light in bone? We will do our best and thanks for the advice its nice to know that there are people out there who are interested in helping others.

If we feed Zilmax will it keep him from gaining fat. He needs to fill out more, there is five months left till our fair do you think he will look different by that time? He hasn't been clipped yet but, when we do we usually clip the neck and brisket smooth.It's starting to get warm here so he is...

what exactly do you mean about his front end? we feed 360# cracked corn 100# kent baby beef 60# soyhull pellets 20# linseed pellets and 25# liquid mollasses. we have it crimped also plus he getts hay twice a day

Thanks! We know he is not the best steer in the world ,but he does look better in person. This is only our third year showing a steer and it is also our last. I'm all for experience but, it is nice to get a ribbon once in a while especially when you know you put in a lot more time than some...

And no he is not crippled or something.

He is for our county fair. We live in a small town and people here do not help each other or give advice. We plan on keeping him and showing him we just wanted other peoples opioins. I like people to be honest not RUDE.

This is our 2011 market steer, he is 13 months old and he weighs 1000 pounds. I would appreciate your opinions on him. Do you think he is worth showing or should we just get rid of him? Our show is in September.

thanks for the advice i appreciate it. this is our fifth year taking a steer and we never have had this much trouble getting a steer to walk. he walked really good about a month ago i dont know why he started acting like a jerk. you can do everything with him but when it comes to walking he just...

We Have a 900 pound market steer that refuses to walk, someone has to stay behind him and constantly tap him to make him move. We tie him up every day and he stands perfectly still while we brush him and he is as calm as can be, but when we try to walk him he either refuses to walk or acts like...
