[QUOTE="cornstalk, post: 57927, member: 911"] Hey Milkmaid. Glad to see your ambition. I showed steers in both 4H and FFA, and can tell you, it's a lot of fun. I woulnt worry too much about making the weight if I were you. Our calves were always born in April,....and I would show them in the ring the following september. We halter broke early summer, and I poured the grain/ high protien hay to em all summer long. My calves typically gained about 2.75-3.3lbs per day. (County Rate of Gain winner several times) In a show steer, you want em to be pretty blocky. Pour the feed on, and take whatever measures possible to grow there hair longer. (fans, shade, water, ect.) Best of Luck to you......and honestly,.....I wouldnt worry much about the markets. The markets are something that niether you nor I can control. Buy when the time is right, and dont worry about whats going on elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
