March born steer-Houston 2012?

[cowgirl sue]

I just bought a March calf that I could not pass up.  He is good.  If possible, we would like to have him ready to show at Houston next year.  Does anyone have any suggestions on feed and supplements to help get him there?  Any suggestions will be appreciated.  Thanks.

is he american or exotic? the americans generally dont have much of a problem, but the exotics bloom a little later no matter what you give him

He is only 1/4 Gert, but I think he will easily make a Simbrah.

simbrahs require more character than gert, post a pic of him for us so we can see how growthey he may be

Right now feed feed feed feed but you have to keep him cool so that he will eat good. And make sure he is cool at night too for that is when they will do most of their converting. possibly a synovex implant but it is pretty hot for that
