    Need advice. Show in November.

    I have been looking at Depth charge now for a while. I have never used it before. So you suggest I use depth charge AND beet pulp? Add this into her daily diet or into a show ration?

    Registration Question!

    I guess she could also be registered as composite charloais seeing as her dam is a pure bred. I wasn't aware that Chi was an option as well so thank you for that! :)

    Lookin for a BUTT

    Yes feed is weighed out in a scale and takes me about a day and a half to go through one bag of feed for two steers. I'd actually like to see them gain a little les per day cuz I fear they will be gigantic by fair in late July. They are on a pound of beet pulp a day for roughage as well as two...

    Lookin for a BUTT

    K well his weights average out to roughly 4 pounds a day they gets weighed every other week. It's just what the numbers say and my basic math skills are up to scale the only factor that would be off is if the scale is that inaccurate but the weights have been consistent at shows around California

    Lookin for a BUTT

    Nope 7pounds (8pounds) in the morning and 7pounds (8pounds) at night. I haven't weighed them since they've been on the finisher the last time they got weighed was march 24th so hopefull it will lower conversion rates as they start to finish but yes that's why I have stayed away from feeding...

    Lookin for a BUTT

    He is super sound and we are working in fattening him up. I will look into these products though. I wa told to look into showflex earlier as a product that would help my other steer who pops in his joints

    Feed Recommendation

    I have had success with the showmaster feeds. Apparently it is just super expensive where I am (California) but I hear it's fairly cheap everywhere else. Good luck

    Warts

    I've used warts off around the eye and haven't experienced any problems. I find it's the easiest method actually. So long as you are careful when applying it, it has worked flawlessly for me for a long time. I do find success ripping off warts as well however find it more effective and easier to...

    Warts

    I've had a lot of trouble with warts and sometimes ripping off warts doesn't get the whole growth and you won't want to rip off anything around the eye anyway. A wart product I swear by it's a "warts off" creams by Sullivan supply. If you apply it morning and night and cover the warts with it...
