          We show at a SMALL county show. 14-15 steers. We don't step on toes or voice opinions openly at show. We aren't bolsterous people. The ONLY difference in us and everybody else is that we bring a show steer. The other steers are club steers picked up off a field somewhere west of here. ...

Very nice.

Lol you know he is Braden. Have never forgot what u have told me in the past about MAB's. Something to the point of.......... they look and show beautifully when they are young but are heart breakers in the end lol.  Going to be sending you picks of what we are looking at this year. Let u advise...

Definitely not getting worked up over getting beat. Only asking for opinions so we can learn and know what to look for in picking out steers in the future. I appreciate everyone's response. Be looking to buy another one here in Sept.

Yes sir. That's what we do. She walked him in the ring the next day and took Grand Champion senior showman. Try and get them bigger and better for this year. It's one mans opinion and the kids are well aware of that. We don't complain. We are happy with our results this year.  Wanted to see what...

He was done. Grader almost put him at Prime. Called another grader over and they agreed to disagree and put him at C+. That B/W steer showed 2 times bigger in comparison. Black steer 1354, B/W 1390. I see what your saying. The B/W had pone fat as well and was noticeable clipped

  It was a lil disheartening. We just keep getting on.

Black steer won Grand Champion over the B/W steer which ended up getting reserve is y I'm asking. Weren't sure if I missed something in the placement?

What order would u put these two in.  1st-2nd.  Thank you

Thanks for your opinion. Grand 1354  Reserve 1390

  Have you ever had a placing where 90% of the other people there come up to you and ask...."did we actually just see what we thought we saw?". We are a humble people and don't whine and complain about much of anything. I teach my daughter that all the judges decisions are based on his own...

Yes sir I completely understand. They aren't cheap anymore fore sure. Just paid dang $17 for 45lb bag. Been feeding Show Rite Throttled Up 12% since our steer hit 800lbs. He's now 1255lbs. with 75 days to go. Hes was eating 25lbs of feed a day consistently since 800lbs (never changed the...

^^^ Wish there was a like button Chuck.  Feed ours elevated about 2'. I think eating grass from the ground and bringing down big mouth fulls of a show feed (20lbs or so) with top dressed supplements from the ground on a daily basis are different IMO. Week before a show we do feed on the ground...

I've read all the threads on here about cottonseed hulls. I understand that there's not much in the nutritional value but how about in the finishing look. I have ppl out west of me that sware cottonseed hulls just give there show steers that big bulk muscular look. I know that cottonseed hulls...

Didn't want to leave this post open ended like so many others on here in case anyone looked in the archive. I did end up having to order the gun seeing there wasn't any to be had here. Gave 5 bolus (quite the experience being our first time) and wormed with Safequard paste. It did tighten him...

Your absolutely correct CAB. Our Tractor Supply here doesn't sell the gun though they sell the Bolus<< go figure. I tried it today by hand and with a piece of PVC pipe but no go. I would give you the play by play but to make a long story short it wasn't pretty haha. Southern States a town over...

I got the boluses today. Will attempt to drop them in tomm. Calls for 5 with his weight. Dang...had no idea they were that big. Looks like it could be a interesting task haha. I also picked up some Safeguard paste and gun to worm with. Thanks

Thanks alot. Made a lil progress today. We stop him like you stated SlickTxMaine but the prob we're having is he doesn't plant the left rear all the way down. I know they typically don't put ALL their weight on the left rear thats pulled up but his looks like the leg is dangling there. Like he's...

I would also like to worm him again.  It was last  done about 3 months ago. I do not recall the wormer we used as it was given to us by our 4-H  club. Can I get suggestions on a good easily administered wormer thanks

Steer is weighing 1150. Eating 24 lbs of Show Rite Throttled Up feed and gets 4 slabs of timothy/Orchard grass(<<older cut) a day. Nothing has changed in his diet. I give Probias every 2 weeks and his stools have been considerably loose than normal. Not water but thinner than pancake mix. I've...
