well after our first year of showing i have to say it has been great and we have learned so much, most of it being on this board. I would like to ask this question, we have 11 days till show and the steer has gone off feed somewhat i have him eating about 10 lbs twice a day now where he was eating 14 lbs twice a day, has some loose stools very fould smelling i know that probably sound funny but i mean this doesnt smell like regular cow -----! so my wonderful breeders told us what to use which were sulfa bolus last week and we tried that and yes his appetite is somewhat better however still not what it should be and still has loose stools , the sulfa bolus says that it has a 12 day withdrawl is there anything else i can give him that has a shorter withdrawl. We feed one block hay a day, and i have gave him two doses of probios! any help or input would be appreciated! thanks so much, i just like to know what others have tried that worked. thanks
