This is my son's hardcore steer.  Our show is in 2 wks..  I know it's too late to do much now...but would like to know what you guys think.

Looks to have all the right parts to be competitive.  If it's a hair show a nice fit job would make him look good too or slick he'll be good.  Keep us posted on how he does and good luck!

Oh, I forgot to say, our show is slick.

He'll do good in a slick show

Being from the cold and snowy north I don't know much about the ways of a slick show, however the steer looks like he cuts up in both his flank and his heart.  If he were mine i would use the next 2 weeks to get him onto a full load of either cottonseed hulls, full tank, or one of the silage-fill in a bag products, if you can get him to fill down the forerib and the flank area you really might have quite a steer, it looks like all of the other parts are already there.  Regardless good luck and have a good time!

I would suggest conditioning the skin, after ya'll have slicked him, with REVIVE and rubbing it in generously over a period of several days before the show...or you may choose to use hair conditioner...MANE & TAIL seems to work just as well...Conditioned skin on slicked calves is often overlooked and can give a great handle to a steer.

Nice calf keep us posted on how it turns out.

Looks really nice, he should slick well!! Post new pictures when he is slicked! I agree with conditioning the skin.
