    Feeding

    We have never fed only once per day.  I believe that feeding twice per day is the best however you can consider feeding more at one feeding versus the other.  For instance if your calf seems to eat better in the evening then you can provide a larger amount of the daily ration in the AM.

    Opinions of this Steer Please!!

    In December he was middle of the pack in his class because he was lacking a bit in finish.  We fixed that problem and by May he was first in his class.  For the county fair he took 3rd.  The judge felt he had too much finish, but I have always felt that you could never have too much finish.
