[QUOTE="VCC, post: 953411, member: 6399"] Get some pro-biotics (paste is best) and hit him with them, he may have stressed a little, the pro-biotics will help get him back on feed. How do you feed at home, give them their grain at the same time each day, 6 and 6 is a good rule of thumb, and give them 30 minutes to eat it. They get used to eating on a schedule and get after it when they do, at the shows you try and stay on the same feed schedule, so they do not stress. I have found each steer to be different, the ones with good appetites seem to never miss a beat, the picky eaters seem to do worse at shows, we started feeding chopped hay with molasses along with their grain at shows, they liked it so it helped with the picky eaters. We had to find what worked best with each calf, some we just cut back on the grain and gave them all the good hay they would eat at the shows, other would be fine just feeding normal. [/QUOTE]
