[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 91687, member: 968"] A steer is a steer is a steer - doesn't make any difference on breed as far as feeding & showing. Temperament can be breed oriented - although Shorthorns are usually very docile. Bloating is a major problem. They can easily die. Is he getting enough HAY. Needs free choice grass hay at all times. Some steers are just bloaters and nothing is going to stop him. You say he is pot-bellied. There is a difference, bloat is very high up, when bad will extend almost above their spine. If he is carrying the "bloat" low on the belly - than that's pot belly and he is not getting a balanced feed program. He's 7 months old - how much does he weigh? If he is bucking everytime you take him out, he's not getting enough exercise. Walk walk walk. [/QUOTE]
