    Steer in need of fat?

    I need a good resource on how to estimate what a good fat coverage is like. Like with steaks & your arm, there's gotta be a trick to get it perfect. With most leg positions during training, his loin feels harder than it should but over his ribs, in his flank, and around his tail head it feels...

    Problematic Steers

    Ok I'm having the absolute worst time with my 2 steers. Last year I had one calf who was my first and mostly broken; I just had to pull him for a few weeks and boom, he'd walk. These 2 I have... nope. What's worse I havent any experience in wild cattle. My first one is going to Houston...
