I have a bull calf born Feb 10, that I think is gonna turn out pretty cool and I plan to show him at the end of July. He's been started on creep feed but is not weaned yet. I've tied him up a few times as well. I won't be showing his dam in the summer, so what I'm wondering is: When would be the best time to wean him and get him on feed to have him looking the best by my show, the last weekend of July? I want him to look as good as possible, but I don't want to burn him out by feeding him too much at such a young age. Also, what would you feed him? Right now he's just getting a home mixed oat creep ration free choice with two other bull calves and I generally feed my summer show animals a similar oat ration, but I'm open to trying something different. Any advice is welcome!
