Looks great from behind. Appears to have a strong bone structure. Will be interesting to see how he fills out

I use vinegar especially on my black calf which helps get rid of dandruff. I haven't heard about mixing with kleen sheen though

I actually just went and got a selenium block today! Awesome! I feel like I've got a lot more knowledge about joints. Thanks

Sullivan's is super expensive especially for joint supplements

I was told selenium would help improve joint health. Does anyone have any experience with selenium? Success or failures?

I rinse my cattle at least once a day and then spray in ProCharge. I love the product. You are doing everything else well, his hair is probably just getting stale. There are supplements that you could give him such as "hide and hair" from Sullivan's that help improve performance of hair and...

Nevermind figured it out

I prefer to use combs as opposed to brushes and you can normally find them at feedstores or Sullivansupply.com is where you can order blowers combs and all those conditioning products like kleen sheen. I don't use kleen sheen very often but I hear it works well. You can spray any conditioner...

Thanks! I've always been really good at showmanship and I've gotten really good at hiding flaws at a stand still but never thought about trying to examine and change the way they move. I will play around with that today.

It varies from person to person but I rinse my steers in the morning, comb them out, blow them out and spray in a mix of ProCharge, ProPolish, (products by Weaver) and vinegar, and lock them in a barn with fans all day then rinse again at night, blow, comb and then lock them OUT of the barn at...

I personally would not use blue kote or koppertox for ringworm. I had a steer bring home ringworm from a jackpot and it spread to the other steer in his pen, fluid film works well an will stay on your calf longer to dry out ringworm. The products I found that worked in about 3 days to kill...

Hes scheduled to get his hoofs trimmed in April so maybe that will help. :) It's just tough cuz he looks so well standing on both a hind and profile view and as soon as the judge watches him walk is when I feel like we're out of the game. I always enjoy hearing the advice others have to offer

I don't think I am pushing him too much on feed I've actually had people to tell me to feed more. He's on 14 pounds a day of showmaster grain with a pound a day of calf manna, two ounces of keep I'm sound a day and beet pulp. I try to walk him for 15 mins a day but I personally don't see a...

Yea thanks. I realize I probably could have picked a better calf however he appeared very sound to begin with. It troubles me that I might have done something wrong to make him unsound but perhaps his genetics are catching up with him. I was just looking for advice that may even help him even...

Hey everyone, I have a Maine-Anjou/angus cross steer who weighs about 1000 pounds. We have been taking him and my other steer o a lot if jackpots this season and the average judge seems to place him farther down the line because he "just isn't sound enough to compete with the top of the class"...
