If you clipped him now he would be pressed to grow the hair back by your show, hair has about a 90 cycle, you might try just clipping him like you would for the show now. I do know it you do clip him out you leave the leg hair, tail head and belly hair. Misters will help as long as it is a fine...

Unless it's freezing you can rinse them, always blow out completely, 3 to 4 tines a week with one of those being a wash, the last 3 months before the fair at least once daily. Routine, blow and comb out all the dirt and debris, rinse thoroughly rinsing the hair forward just like you would blow...

Could have had a reaction to the pour on, it could be a little rain rot as well, One of the steers we are sponsoring did the same thing after the pour on, treated him with medication we got from the vet and he is fine now. We think he had a case of rain rot as well.

Have the vet check him and remove what ever he has, and do it soon, see if the breeder will help with or pay for the procedure.

5500 running watts or above, double blower pulls like 38 amps, start one at a time.

He looks good, as long as he move well you should do great.

We never walked our like you would a hog, just worked on what you would do in the ring, and tied them with their head up for an hour or so to build up their endurance for standing in the chute and then the ring. By walking him you are burning off the fat you are trying to put on him. We had real...

I agree he has plenty of room to fill into, I am a little suspect of your math 1100 plus 185 puts him at around 1285, I would put him on stabilized rice bran, add 2 pounds a day to his feed, it will help add finish. I would also start working the hair he has, up and forward at a 45% angle. Even...

Bermuda or grain hay, alfalfa is to rich, calves should be getting their nutrition from the feed.

Water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon, if your steer had not drank prior to weighing him, and then drank before you weighed him the next time 10 galloons could make a 80+ increase, We always weighed the same time of day (Sunday evening) to try and get a consistent weight. Prior to fair when we...

As some of you may know, the foundation we started in my grandsons memory, Curren's Cows, sponsors heifer projects to kids in California. This year we sponsored a young lady from Shandon California, and a Young Man from our home town. With Covid and all the shut downs both young people have had...

Have an older (9) cow who seems to be night blind, gets around fine during the day but at night she uses her nose to get around. I turned them out on the new grass in the pasture, with just a portion of the hot wire pulled back, so I can close it off if it rains or to irrigate if it does not...

Just wanted to share a picture of our 5 month old Primo Heifer, she is sopping wet but after no rain for the past several months that is OK with me.
