My son weighed his steer yesterday and he currently weighs 875lbs. He gained 125 in the past 32 days (3.9 lbs per day). Our show is not until February 26th (200 days). He is eating 21 lbs of feed (finisher) and beet pulp a day, divided into two feedings. He also has access to all the grass hay he wants. Our concern is that he will be too heavy for our show. What is the best way to handle this.....Do we let him go and pull him at the end, or cut him back slowly now? I would like to hear what all of you experienced show people would do with this situation. Thanks!
