I would feed more like stated, curios what feed are you feeding and what is it nutritional value, is it a finisher or grower type feed. It is time to increase the fat and lower the protean, goal is to get him to finish now and to slow down his growth. With 92 days left to feed at 2.7 he would...

Ultra full for the flank area, Follow directions on the bag, Stabilized Rice Bran for the fat, start him on one pound a day working him up to 2 pounds a day, start at least 3 month prior to final show.

Do you have him on a daily hair routine, (rinsing combing, blowing out), he does look like he has quite a bit of flaky skin. I do not think it is normal hair loss, it looks more like rain rot or some other skin issue. I would try treating him with a good vinegar rinse, and then use some...

Do you have any pictures of the calf?

I think most successful producers in the club calf world are doing it by having a few good donor cows and placing embryos in most of their cows and clean up by cleaning up with AI or a Clubby clean up bull. If you look at most sales there are several sets of full sibs in the sale. You need cows...

Club Calves or Breeding heifers?

So are you feeding a commercial show feed or just the barley and oats? If that is the only feed you are feeding him it may be the lack of minerals and the proper amount of fat and protean, you will get one finished on that mix but it might not help with hair you are trying to get. Is he on a...

Daily routine, working the hair, practicing setting up and the stick. Daily routine: Get the calf and yourself into a routine, feeding at the same time, tying the animal up so they get accustomed to standing up for a period of time, handling them every day. A steer or cattle project is for a...

Well it should be cool enough to grow hair, might be genetics in play. What is his breeding? Try putting him on melatonin, you can use over the counter 3mg tablets give him 33 of them a day, or buy one of the supplements with it in it.

Try putting Corona Ointment on it, fully cover it and as it soften ups use a comb to get all dead crusty skin off. it will help the hair grow back as well.

Soak the mud balls with WD40, buy it in the gallon can, fill a small container an dip them until they are saturated. It will soften them up so you break them up.

If end goal is a breeding heifer, I would feed her a higher protean lower fat diet. I would feed her a 60/40 mix of a good grower Something with a protean around 13-13.5 ( I like fitters edge from Purina but there are all kinds out there) and a lower fat content like 2.5 and Purina precon, about...

here she is

try messaging me the photo and I will see what I can do.

Start by getting an accurate weight with the steer full (had feed and has drank plenty of water) this weight will tell you how much you need to gain. At your current weight you stated you need a 5 pound gain a day, Not impossible but not very likely either. What are you feeding how much is he...

Brushing with a rice root brush will help stimulate hair growth, start on the right side of the animal and brush up and forward at a 45% angle until your arm feels like it will fall off, now go to the left side and use your right arm and do the same thing. Now that your right arm is about to...

Try resizing the picture and saving it, make it 50% of what it is now and try sending the saved picture

The other reason you want to tie them with their head up is to get them used to standing for longer periods of time, calves can spend an hour or more in the chute getting clipped and fitted, if they are not used to standing with their head up for longer periods of time, they will get real antsy...

When is your fair? She does not look fat now, With heifers you just need to stay on top, adjusting her feed if she starts to bloom to soon, you can do that by cutting her feed ration in half and adding a filler to make up for it for a short time and then put her back on full feed again. You need...

They take more management when feeding, they can get fat on you overnight it seems like. I would find a good developer feed with a protein % over 14, and feed her 2 percent of her body weight to start. Just keep an I on her and adjust the feed according to how she is developing.
