It is nice to get a steer early to work with it and get feed right, most shows in Cali. you only have to own 120 days there are a lot of sales in October in Ca.  If you can wait you might find something better.  Don't rush and buy the first one (I know it is hard), but there is always something...

We missed a worming and discovered worms and wormed with a pour on over a week ago, we are still seeing traces of worms (never saw any alive), should we wait a while or reworm with something else?

give him pro biotics, will he eat anything?

After the show is fine I know that is a small talk questions from the judges.

give him some probiotics also, you should be able to get a feed store.

how long has it been off feed and how much are you feeding.  Try just feeding hay for a day then give back grain.

Ever since I have been involved in 4-H (25 years) the age to show has always been 9 or in the 4th grade.  It seems that since 4-H now has primary members under 9, these kinds of questions come up more often.  We used to have mini 4-Hers which were not really in 4-H and were not actually in any...

what are you feeding?  Does he need just weight or finish also?

we used kopertox last year and got it at the feed store, we do not have a squeeze chute, the animals we were using it on is very tame we just squirt it in their feet between the hoofs,  they do not like it so they might kick a litte, so stand back and do it, we gave one round of LA200 and did...

I agree we have been trying to figure out how to do it also I worry about if it we to fall off while driving

I have bought used blower off craigslist, just check and make sure they run good and aren't rusted.

It takes time, keep walking him.  Have someone walk behind him, it helps.  Is he by himself?  Sometimes they don't like to leave others, and have to get used to it.

I've seen rules that say no dying to cover breed defect, but that would not apply to sun bleached hair

I would not work her until you her better and start slow when working.  You can buy scour halt at the feed store it works well you just squirt it in their mouth.  I would call the vet and talk to them pigs can go down hill very quickly

Don't get them wet for at least 6 hours.

don't know anything about this except from your post, if it is guaranteed money wouldn't that mean the show is going to give them that if no one buys the animals for more money.  Meaning that would be the least amount the child could get, but could get more?

There are many different  brands of show feeds, everyone you ask will tell you a different brand.  See what is available in your area and compare prices and nutrition.

Thanks for posting before I vote!
