Her and I had the same birthday...

I just had to sell my steer because of the same problem. With mine you would have never know he was not cut correctly except when you were in his pen he would charge. He just got worse... My vet wouldn't cut him because it was too close to my fair.

SO.... I sold the "steer". The man I bought him from bought him back. He is a wonderfull man and felt horrible about the situation. It kinda sucked being my first steer, and the last year I can do a project!!!

City names are odd/ There is an intercourse PA as well.. Its a big tourist area and they sure make a joke about it.

white crayon on colored paper...

Here are a few current pictures of him...

I sleep just fine at night... Ill put a few pictures up an you guys can let me know if you think he looks "bull like".

He has not been out with my horses because of the heat issue we are having, but i took him to a show on the 15th and he really was find around all the other animals. So that wouldnt really be a problem for me, its more of the judge or fair official finding out. Ours are required to be casterated...

I would say hes about 10 months and weighs 1050lbs. I had a friend come look at him and she felt what she thought was one, and she had one with the same situation and had to sell it before the fair because of the bloat. She was out alot of money,i know that the risk you take but i CANT loose...

I dont have the $$ for a vet to come do that...

I'm almost 100% sure that he wasn't castrated fully. When feeling you can feel one * we think*, so I'm not sure if it was missed or wasn't banded correctly or maybe  it dropped late. I have a friend that had the same situation, and hers ended up bloating and dieing. What are my options, am i...

What is the best way to tell if a steer has not been cut fully or a testicle was missed. I'm starting to question my "steer", hes gotten a little bit aggressive lately and is trying to mount my horses and lamb. I can not feel anything in that area but i know its possible that one has not...

Sun glasses, dead birds, crushed cell phone, lighters, and lots of trash.

hes being fed around 20-25lbs of a show ration plus grass hay. there is about 65 days till fair, and i couldnt agree more. im not too sure why they stop there but it sucks!

I couldn't find the most recent picture but my steer weighed 990 last weekend. To make weight hes got to get to 1000, which shouldn't be a problem. The fair pays to 1250 so I would like to get him around there. How do you guys think hes looking compared to how he should? Is there anything I...

Not sure if this has been asked before but does anyone have recipes for hair products. Maybe something like show sheen or wave tamer.

Call and tell him cash only.

Our fair is pretty large, we hold the county fair at our state fair grounds. We have a different building for each species of animal, and each one has its own washing area. There is two show rings so each of the animals are spread out through the week. We have tons of rides, stands, and what not...

What pointers do you guys have for a first time exhibitor? Things for the actual person and for the animal.

My hog last year was reserve champion at our county fair. She was raised on moormans feed, a mineral supplement, and some beet pulp towards the end. I don't think all the other stuff in necessary.
