So you got a blue roan steer to show at your county fair. you want to know what you can do to get it to have more hair and muscel.
Do you already have the calf weaned? what are you feeding him

good luck! About how much does it weigh? Can you separate him from the others to eat? Are you feeding hay too?

so you are feeding him and 6 other cows 6 scoops of showmaster. i would get him halter broke if he isnt already and start rinseing him everday. start excersing him daily, and start feeding him 2% of his body weight in show feed, give him a flake or two of grass hay a day. can we get some pictures.
