This is our steer as of today.  He has a hip measurement of 52" and is 15months old.  He currently weighs 1100 pounds.  How does he look?

Show........Thnks for the clarification.  I thought that is what was meant but I wasn't sure.  We have dealt with that with the hogs before but with so many finishing numbers being thrown out your mind gets a little jumbled. Especially because we don't' live in cow country being from Southern...

Thanks to those of you who have answered me........I'll try to answer some your questions in order...... I got the rate of gain after dividing the difference of pounds by the number of days between weighings.  We do use a direct fed microbal which is probiotics and yes it works wonderfully. ...

AAOK........thanks.....I will look into the Bermuda.  We can take all the savings we can get.  VC.........that was my next question.  He looks like he is getting a fairly round gut.  He is not bloated and we have been very careful not to increase his feed intake to fast (increase rate of 1pd...

JL.......thanks for the adivce!!  We will up it today and then once a week until we get to 25lbs.  .  Is the mix we're feeding a good mix?  Red.....appreciate the welcome.

Can anyone tell me if we're feeding our Black Angus steer the right amount of feed.  Our fair day is about 110 day away.  Our steer weighs 960lbs. as of today.  We're currently feeding 15lbs of a Verdamont and Rolled Corn mix, 2lbs of Orchard Hay and Show Bloom.  Is there something else we...
