When we were breaking the steers for this year (i don't have my steer anymore, I gave him away saturday :( ) we fed them all in a trough, and there was one calf that would actually lay down and SLEEP in it! I wish I had taken a picture, it was cute.

Thanks for all the support. I did have tons of fun at the show and throughout the whole steer raising experience. I do live in Guadelupe county...people were bidding a lot higher this year at the sale than they did last year, it was wierd. Even the lower placing animals usually got over $500! My...

I have a limi steer that does that! He's very friendly & he'll Moo after me & watch me til I leave the barn. He was never really wild or crazy though, he's always been pretty calm. I've taken naps on him at shows.

So you guys were right...my steer didn't place at his last show. It's ok though, I was just in this for the experience rather than the money. I thought I would share some pictures from the day of the show. Sorry it's a lot of pictures. I did place with my goat, we got 11th out of 19...

she looks nice. that calf is adorable!

The ag teachers went out and bought a bunch of steers from auctions or a local breeder over about 4 weeks and we all spent the first month we had them halter breaking them and getting them used to people. Then they tied up all the steers to the fence one day and went down a list of people to...

Thanks anyways, but Max (the paint) is here to stay. I would keep Moo with him but they don't allow steers out there. No worries about the nose ring, I don't even wear it at the ag barn (it's against school dress code, so it's also against FFA dress code).

It's ok I'm keeping him after the last show. I think we're worming the steers sometime this month. Thanks for all the advice!

Thanks! Even if I don't place with him I'm sure I'll have fun. Shows are always fun.

oh I didn't see that part you wrote about them being in the nose...don't worry, I ALWAYS take the nost ring out when I show!

Thanks guys. I'll try feeding him some more barley between now and the show (I've got him on it now, but it's not much) and see if that does anything. My sister will be the one showing the steer next year, I guess we'll try for a better one. Thanks for the tip about the earrings, I diddn't know...

yea he doesn't compare to the other steers at the barn weight wise, but I feed him all he'll eat (but he doesn't put away nearly as much as the other steers). I'm getting his hooves trimmed on the 4th of january. thanks!

Since you guys know a lot about show cattle, can you critique my limi steer, Moo? Our last show is on January 18-20. Thanks a bunch! These are the most recent pics, I took them yesterday. so far we've placed 5 out of 7, 5 out of 6, 5 out of 5, and 4 out of 4...not the best :[ any ideas...
