    East Texas Lightning

    I have lost 11 head in the past 15 years or so to lightning. Two single cows, three 18 month old bulls and now last Wednesday 6 cows. There is something about this 7 acre pasture that attracts lightning.

    Show steer weight

    At a 3 pound a day average weight gain you should be ok. Check his weight every couple of weeks so you will know what he is doing.

    showing steers for fair

    Talk to the County agent and see what he/she suggests... Where we live in Texas it has to be black and Main is a great asset.
