I really enjoyed reading this post - thanks for all the info. I need to learn more about this type of thing - exactly how much of each nutrient is needed, the correct percentages for all the nutrients, and the effects of all the different types of feed. I will have to customize my feed this...

I have a steer that has finished a month before his time, and i was wondering if i should feed him about half of his COB for now and fill  in with oats. Beet pulp has been recommended, but i know my steer likes oats so he wouldnt need time to adjust to them,ect. I walk him, and also feed oxy...

You havnt given him a shot lately, have you? Where is the lump located?

We have some midland daughters and i cant say enough good about them. They are moderate framed, thick , nicely balanced cows with great udders. They breed back very well, and stay in good flesh. We have also raised some great bull calves out of him - they never come heavy and always grow like...

So oxy explosion will make them gain weight even if their feed is reduced/changed? I want my steer to retain his muscle shape and hair, and thought oxy  would help this.  He doesnt get free choice grain so he cant overeat.

he is being fed oxy explosion along with it( for 2 weeks). Would  i be able to get beet pulp at most feed stores, and how does it run for price? Im also wondering how long it takes for them to get used to it ( do they generally like it) and how much needs to be fed. Thanks for your help!!

HELP!! My steer has a month and a half til fair, and he is basically finished. He is eating 20lbs of cob and wheat straw for roughage. I was told to reduce his feed, but shouldnt i add something else so he gets enough nutrients? I am walking him about a mile a day, but im trying to increase this...

I have 2 steers that i have been brushing and rinsing about twice a day for a month now. They are still shedding hair every time i brush them( about 30-40min each per day) and im not sure why. I let them stay outside when its cloudy and under 65 degrees and am wondering if they need to be inside...

I use probios paste and it works pretty well. You give it to them three days in a row. If my steer doesnt eat well in the morning, usually by the next day (after one dose)he is back to normal.If its a really bad case, it may take a few days. I think the 3 day thing just keeps them from...

I really wish i could get all steirwalts videos,but i cant afford them! Feed is killing me,not to mention topdresses,show supplies,gas,entry fees,and all of the above. I wish i could rent them somehow - i even searched all of montanas libraries and none of them have anything. Im new to the show...

Im new to fitting cattle for showing and would like to know what grooming products you use, in what order you apply them, ect.  All the different products confuse me. I noticed someone spray what looked like white powder on a black steer and blowing it later on. I saw in sullivans catalog some...

Sorry to bring up this topic again,but when i went to order something this morning, i noticed that though most of my choices were said to have the same results,their ingredients differ. Winners Edge and  Oxy Explosion both have very low fat and high protein, but Maximum Gain,said to do the same...

I dont feed any hay- i use wheat straw just to have roughage in their diet. They only eat a small amount every day - probably about 5-7lbs.

My steer has only 40 days til fair and he has been off feed for a week or so. I feed him morning and night about 8lbs each time, but lately im lucky if he eats 5lbs - usually he wont eat at night  if he ate in the morning. He has free choice wheat straw and mineral. If he gets too loose i give...
