One thing that has tainted the whole steer project is that a lot of people don't want to turn a calf with potential into a champion. They want to buy a champion and just feed him. That's why you see people paying upward of $10K for a steer with ease. Because they want to buy the Grand Champion...

Attending clinics will definitely help you.  I recommend buying the DVDs by Guyer (Sullivans), Stierwalt (Weaver), and McCullough ( Sullivans).  Get familiar with the desired conformation qualities of steers or heifers, whatever it is you'll be fitting.  Learn from the DVDS how to clip to...

I wouldn't be concerned about a judge potentially judging one of his own and showing favor. To me that's as much of a concern as showing a $2500 steer against a $15K steer.  The judge can't tell how much either costs, but he sure better be able to tell which one is the better at that very moment...

I would recommended talking to your breeder, vet or some other experienced person YOU TRUST!! Based on my research and basic knowledge, I've learned the fundamental reasoning for popping pasterns is either mineral deficiency or ligament issues.  If you believe it's due to mineral deficiency then...

I tell you what..... If you want a feed that works straight from the sack.  You can't go wrong with Purina Honor Show Chow. I've seen the Fitter’s Edge in action and also the Impact Club Calf.  You can't go wrong.  The Fitter's Edge is more expensive.... True. If you want to pour your feed in...

Just a couple of questions 1)What show is he going to and when 2)How is he bred

I know there is an awful lot of information scattered about containing multiple opinions on what's the best product, practices and correctional measures for helping out with pastern issues. (Don't want to start a debate on breeding, structural flaws, conformation, etc.)  I have a steer that's...
