also, ditto to VC about the daily routine. for me personally, however, i would work up to tying for much longer periods because hes going to be standing for anywhere from six to ten hours at a time at a show. i’m not saying you necessarily need to do that daily, but getting him used to longer...

yes!! a showman that asks questions and seeks advice is a showman that wins. i personally like mixing my own feed. my steer is on my custom mix of corn, oats, 38% protein dairy mix (builds muscle great), along with beet pulp for filler. pushing corn now that he needs finish, something you can...

haha thanks!

i love it!! good luck with your new friend 🥰

my first steer is still my friend! after years of showing together, i decided to keep him. he is a holstein-jersey cross named Jabes that i bought as a bottle baby. him and two others were the first calves i bought with my own money as a kid. we showed 4H and when i age out instead of selling...

ohhhh he looks good!!! he’s a very promising little prospect… i love his head and top line! you guys have a very bright future together 😉☺️

hahahah i love that 🤣🤣

what a handsome boy! i’ve got a few name ideas… -Xerxes -Xander (short for alexander) -Xenon -Xavi i hope this helps, and i hope you two do well together! best of luck!!

oh good! sorry you didn’t place but it sounds like it was a good time!

good to know, thank you! how did you wind up placing?!

oh awesome! that sounds like a great opportunity to get your foot in the door for your next step! 😁

thank you so much! i will definitely work on ALL of those!

oh cool! you’ve been at it for a while then haha! awe well i hope you can make some connections at your upcoming show and keep on showing! 😊

oh that’s awesome! my family herd is all angus, but i raise charolais, jerseys, and i recently bought one of my parents’ angus cows! how long have you and your family been farming??

that would be amazing, thank you so much! my fair is in three months, and i’m hoping to go to a show at a local cattleman’s association that’s coming up soon, but my mentor is a member, so she has to set that up if that’s the plan. so that one’s still up in the air. what do you raise?!

interesting! yeah that is very good to know, and i will certainly keep that in mind next time i step into the ring. thank you so much!

what was something that has been make or break in a showmanship class? for example, a judge says “i would have placed this showman higher if she had just…” or “what made this showman my favorite was that he…” dos and donts that you’ve seen judges like or dislike? this will be my first year...

18.6 IOS. so far pretty good! it’s a little slow sometimes (typing) and when i scroll, it jumps around often (booting me back to where ive already scrolled or snapped forward), but otherwise i love it!

hey guys! my show charolais is about 10 months old, never had a bath and desperately needs one. i’m dying to clean him, but we don’t have an indoor/warm facility, we’re in minnesota and it’s still cold. so how cold is too cold to wash a steer (esp for the first time)? thanks everyone!!

all this is solid advice. i would do both these tricks, and extend your length of tying. my charolais wouldn’t put his head up, so i tied him for about nine hours a day. id take him to food and water every so often and then tie him back up. worked great. good luck; im sure you two will find...
