Okay, this year, the best steer we have is a limousin/angus cross. Very much limousin. We have been brushing and bathing him and trying to get some sort of a hair coat on him. He's under shelter 24/7 but not in an air conditioned barn as we just don't have that option. We have still be having cool weather - even snow last week.
My question is - is the limo side of him naturally a slick cattle? He's a slick as my horses are. I've thought about starting him on show Shag or one of the other supplements, but not sure its worth it.
On the flip side, the hereford steer we have that is kept the same way and getting the same attention - he's fairly shaggy and hairy still. But he is not the stronger structure wise of the two.
Thanks for your help.
