Hi,
Just found this place. Looks to be full of ppl with alot of knowledge.
I'm from the interior region of BC, Canada. I've been showing steers for a few years now, have done pretty well in our 4-H District in the market classes. We haven't been able to take the top spot yet.
We are on the look out for our next project. To help with picking out next steer, I wonder if you could analyze the last one we had and perhaps give pointers.
He is a straight Limo. We have been feeding 16lbs of a 16% protein Dairy Ration with 16lbs of Barley daily. This is usually about as much as they will eat before they stop eating the feed. We try to have them wet down two or three times a day and kept in the barn during the day. He was born April and then shown August of the next year at 1285 lbs.
Have a look and let me know what you think.
The pic labeled Sale1 is on show day. Def could use some more fat but he placed first in his weight class with the heaviest in the class being 1325.
Second is a month earlier.
