Hello, I was wondering if any of y'all could help me out. My steer has been really weird about eating the past few weeks. There are times that he'll eat all of the feed at each feeding, but then other times he'll eat about 4 or 5 pounds out of 30 pounds for the whole day. Two nights ago he ate everything but a pound of feed so yesterday morning I fed him his usual amount of feed and when I went out there later that night I went out there to feed him again and he only ate about 6 pounds of feed, so I left it in the barn to see if he'd eat it during the night, when I went out there this morning it looks like he hasn't touched it at all. I checked his temperature this morning also and it was 102.4, which is normal, and he's drinking a lot of water, his stool is fine so I don't understand what the problem could be. Can anyone help me out with this? I'm wanting him to eat and drink a lot right now cause I'm trying to get his stomach to finish dropping and more weight put on him because I have 50 days until my show. I'm also posting some pictures of him so maybe I can get some tips or helpful hints or positive criticism about him. Please note in these pictures he wasn't eating all that well so he doesn't look as big as usual and my boyfriend was taking the pictures at weird angles. Thank you, I appreciate your time
