    Fire Water???

    IMO,If you want a better chance at making a steer ,use the new pb bull Game On,,,fire water will give you nice females,,but the steers will be nice,but could be harder haired than you want for steer deal,,was super impressed with game On,prob just a nickel small for the purebred side

    Best Feed to buy that is not a Home Mixture!

    we use the nutribase, but if you don't have a feed mill accelerator is my goto feed,,it depends on where your cattle are condition wise,and where you want em,and how fast you wanna get em the,,throttle up is a great finishing feed,,,just plenty hot for calves I think
