[QUOTE="4-Her Mom, post: 46987, member: 357"] Need some help........the steer doesn't really eat much. We are 40 some days away from the fair. June 5th he weighed 901. He's somewhat bigger, but not finishing off well. He doesn't eat all of his feed. At the suggestion of our resident expert we are now feeding a combo of things: calf manna, sweet feed, cracked corn, and beet pulp. He gets some hay each week. Our next move is to give him B-12 injections, but we were told that it can make a steer hyper. Another fella told me that charolais/brahamas are late finishers....we are in Florida, so it's been hot, but he gets a good hosing every day, he has plenty of shade and well, we've had lots of rain and it's been "breezy" with all these stinkin' hurricanes......what gives with this guy....is he anorexic, bullimic, or what? Any other tips to entice his appetitie? What's a good weight for a charolais X at a steer show? Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. :help: [/QUOTE]
