Hey yall. I am new on here and just need to ask a few questions about my steer that I am showing this year. We had our county fair weigh in a couple weeks ago and he weighed in at 700 lbs. I was hoping he would be 150 lbs heavier than that. he was eating about 18lbs a day, but not always finishing it so I didnt increase. our target show is at the end of july and I am afraid he isnt going to get big enough. I have had a couple people tell me to put him on free choice feed to keep him full all the time. I have tried this for about two weeks and he actuially seems to eat less....a supplement called fastrak and sure champ pellets have been suggested, are these the same thing? can they be fed together? which is better than the other? we are feeding him umbarger cattle blaster and barley base, about a 2:1 ratio blaster to barley. would a b12 shot help him out? one other thing that worries me is his excremement is VERY solid, almost like a horse which tells me he is constipated or not getting enough feed. I hope a few experts take the time to read this and have some helpful hints. If we dont get him back on track, he wont be big enough come fair time and that will be bad. thanks in advance for any opinions!
