2010 carcass show steer

[aussie_cowgirl]

Like every other show steer I've ever posted this guy is going into a hoof and hook competition based on supermarket specs. So he gets judged on hoof, then auctioned, then judged on the hooks. This bloke is a little gelb steer. He's about 350kg as of 2 weeks ago, another 6 weeks to go and we're aiming to have him just under 450kg so he's the top of the middle weight class. He's just been rinsed in the first pic so you can really see the muscle expression, second one is before the wash. He's parked on an angle in both cases so he isn't standing 100% but they're a good enough photos. 2nd photo shows his topline off a lot better.

He is small frame and that is what always wins and he looks like he has a good finish on him.
I would be slowing him down on feed just to get him finished by the show.
Good Luck.

Really depends here. We used to be able to take any weight steer but they've capped the maximum weight at about 550kg now because the supermarkets don't take anything else. :lol2: In lbs that would be about 1250lbs I guess...

But you're right, we're winding down the feed on him.

Thank you
