    Whats y'alls opinion

    I think you already figured it out. It is always better to get the calf halter broken and leading before you dehorn. 1) You have the animal's trust; 2) the stress of weaning, going on feed and strange surroundings are enough to start out with and 3) it is difficult to work with one when...

    A first for me......Re. halter breaking.

    That is one good looking Brangus heifer. Try leading her to her feed and water. She will soon associate leading with a reward.

    Show feeding help- Moved from New Comers

    Find out the percent corn in the base feed you bought and then blend in flaked or crimped corn until corn makes up about 60 to 65 percent of the total ration. Don't expect this to work in a month or less. Getting show finish on an animal takes time.

    Halter Breaking

    I learned trick this from an old man and now that I am an old man I will share. It worked for my kids and others. Our county agent started teaching it at his 4-H beef camp. I have a 20 foot gooseneck trailer with a full escape door in the front. I tie the haltered calf in the front of the...

    Please help me with this steer if you can

    This has worked for me for a long time. When my kids got a new heifer or steer, I would tie them up in the front end of our 20 ft gooseneck cattle trailer with enough slack to be able to get up and get down. A water bucket is put in the back of the trailer. Twice a day (3 times a day if it is...

    how do you get them to drink at a show?

    Are you on a community water system or a well at home? If you are on a well you may want to add a few drops of chlorine bleach to the water trough. Another trick that worked for me was to draw up water at the show and let it sit for 12 hours or more to dissapate the chlorine smell. Sometimes...

    Do you think he will make a good show steer?

    Unfortunately your calf lacks balance and style. He appears to be too straight in his hind leg set, too straight in his shoulders, and looks to be pinched in his heart girth. I know that show steer producers try for the straight legs, but this is a structural problem that causes the calves to...
