[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 472876, member: 3162"] Every steer seems to be a bit different. You get a steer out of a cow and the same off spring a year later, sired out of the same bull, will be a bit different - or it could be the same. When you have a couple dozen to feed out, you just pick what works best for the majority. With two, I'd do the same. Try a couple of feeds and see what they do the best on. Watch their stools close. Baby Beef was the best feed for me all around but I haven't found it for the last couple of years. It was a really good grower/finisher for a whole bunch I was feeding out. The feed store that had it quit carrying it. You might can find it in your area. If you steer them and you are going to sell them to individuals, I wouldn't worry about those horns. If you are taking them to a sale, it is only a small dock on the price. [/QUOTE]
