We have this 9mos. old bull that's been in the pasture with other young bulls and a few young heifers. We did see him riding the others. My question is, if he we can get him cut is he worth using as a steer or just forget it and find something else. We have in a stall now and he's a bit...
Show date is Feb. 9. I really don't feel he's converting well. I think his fiber is too high in his feed. Going to switch his feed over the next week. He's been wormed, but he's due again here soon. I will get that and have my daughter do that next week. We've been giving probiotics in a...

My daughter is raising her first steer this year. He was a budget steer. We got him at 315, and weighed him 30 days later at 370. Our fair has a minimum weigh in of 650, by August 5. Do you think this is doable? What should we add to his feed if it'll help. He gets 9lbs. of feed and hay...
We are new to all this steer stuff this year. My daughter purchased a steer for Feb. 2018 show. He was a good budget steer $650. My question is, if your end result for a market show steer is auction and slaughter, why in the world do some people pay over $1500 for one. In my mind, I'm...
