Show steer needing to eat more

[Jay16]

Hi! I have a show steer who is currently 980 pounds, and needs to be 1050 by July 15th in order to make weight. I would prefer him to be 1100-1150, but with the way he’s going that’s not gonna happen. I have him on 22 total pounds of grain a day, along with 4 flakes of alfalfa. He gets 18 pounds of Showtime Beef Finisher and 4 pounds of rice bran pellets per day. He doesn’t want to eat his food though, and this week he didn’t gain any weight because I had to take him to a show practice, and he gained back his lost weight from the trailer but didn’t put any more on. I have tried mixing alfalfa with his grain, wetting it, putting it in a feeder on the ground and up on the fence, skipping feedings, and taking out the rice bran as it doesn’t smell particularly good and is kind of dusty. He was in a pen with my heifer and had free forage hay, but I had to lock him in a second smaller pen to feed him so the heifer didn’t eat his grain, and he doesn’t do well with a time limit. I moved him to a pen on the fence line with the heifer but he won’t eat in there either despite having all day with his grain. I’m just not quite sure what to do at this point, as I’ve never had a lightweight steer nor a calf that didn’t like to eat. He’s well built and not super skinny, (he could use some more finish on him but he’s got a decent amount of meat on his bones) he’s just smaller framed and doesn’t have the capacity to be super heavy. Is there anything else I could try adding to his grain that will make him want to eat it more, or anything else I could try that would increase his appetite?
