Feeding and finishing
Dads and Junior Showmen: 4 guides
- Feeding a Market Steer for Finish Without Overdoing ItHay, grain, gain and fat cover. How a steer gets finished, how much is too much and how to keep his gut healthy along the way.
- Market Steer Weights and Weigh-Ins: What the Fair Book Actually RequiresMinimum weights, weigh-in dates, tag rules and what happens if the steer misses. Read it now, not the week before the show.
- Rate of Gain for a Market Steer: How to Track It and What Contests MeasureAverage daily gain is simple math with a few traps. How to weigh, record and read the number, and what rate-of-gain contests reward.
- What to Do When Your Market Steer Doesn't Make WeightCheck the book, talk to the superintendent early, weigh your options and keep the project from turning into a lesson in panic feeding.
