Thanks Willow. He gets the exact same every day mixed the same way fed in the same pan etc. as far as he gets a couple flakes of good grass hay after he is fed in the morning and then when we turn him out at night there is a round bale for him and our heifer to eat on . It's also good grass hay...

Right now about 16 lbs per day . At a 6:1 ratio he should be gaining almost 3lbs per day but he isn't eating all his feed every day.

Thanks HF never thought that could be the issue. I have been having the mill just mix that into the feed so next time I will just buy it by the bag and top dress the heifers feed .

We have a march Tiger Woods steer just weighed him this morning and he weighed 850. Our county fair is the end of July and I'm worried he's not going to be big enough. Some days he eats fine other days he hardly eats anything. We have him on Sullivans appetite express and have had him on it...

Personally , if you can find an Umbarger dealer close they have a really good heifer ration . It has enough corn in it to make em grow but also a good mix of oats and their "secret" ingredient Spelts. They are supposed to help fill them out and really add depth. If you can't get that I'm sure...

Everyone on here has hit on most of the big things already but, the most important thing is that she has fun since its her first year if she doesnt have fun with it she wont stick with it . Someone else that can help you a lot is your county extension agent. They can put you in touch with people...

We live about 15 miles form Umbargers and fed their feed for years and love it. Can't really say much about the others since I haven't tried them.  I can drive 15 miles and get FRESH feed every 2 weeks so why switch to something that's been hauled in from somewhere else. With the different...

I am planning to start adding some cooked corn to his feed and gradually work the amount up. This may be a dumb question but how long should I cook it for ?

Thanks for the input I think I will give it a try and see what happens

I have a steer that doesn't seem to be gaining as fast as he should . I was told feeding cooked corn would really put weight on a calf , is this right? If so how much should I feed,how long should it cook for, how long should I feed it? Is this something that can be fed long term or just to put...

Depending on you cell phone service you might look into an air card from your cell phone company

I know breeders that have them and those that don't. The ones that don't say they have no problem selling all their calves without a website.My argument is thats fine but what about getting your name out in the main stream? You can go to all the big shows around the country and meet people but...

we used a box of jello mix in our calves water last year and they really seemed to like it

We feed it start to finish in our calves really helps blow their guts out and give them depth. We actually prefer Full and Fresh but cant seem to find it around here anymore.

Yeah that's Jeff's bull . He is actually lives about 45 minutes from me

Here is a picture from a couple weeks ago

Excel is Jeff Koch's bull isn't he? If it is I have heard a lot about this bull just didn't know his EPD's as far as calving ease and birth weight.

Thanks for the suggestion I will check him out

Looking for every ones opinions on what are the best hereford bulls out there. My son has a heifer out of a Durango bull and trying to decide what to breed her to. She has Durango and About time in her background so those 2 are out . What do you guys like to breed your heifers too?

Thanks Big M . We wash / rinse at least once a day . I didn't think it was a short cut just another tool . We rinse/ wash everyday at least once a day more when it gets hot. Our summer highs are usually in the 90's although this past summer we had a lot of 100 degree plus days in a row.  After...
