Where do I go to look for a transport company? We bought a steer on a recent trip to Ohio and need to get him hauled to FL. The seller contacted a hauler he has used when purchasing cattle from out west. The hauler has not gotten back to me. Where would look for a company?
Last weight he was 970. This is a hair show. He was hairy when we bought him back in August. We shaved him to keep him cool and his hair has not grown back. I am not set on switching to a finisher. We are fairly new to steers and we were told to switch to a finisher at 120 days from the fair...

My daughter is showing a steer in our fair in October. We have a couple of questions. First, her steer has a wart on his forehead. He has rubbed it on a post and rubbed part of it off. It is flat against his head now so nothing really to grab to try and pull it off. Will it go away on its own or...
I have been looking but since we are new to showing steers we do not know what to look for. I need someone to help find something. All the other 4Hers around here that show steers are very competetive which translates to not very helpful. We are without an Ag extension officer right now in our...
Looking for a show steer for my daughter to show next year. I have no idea where to even begin looking no local breeders that breed show or club calves. I am located in North Fl.
