[QUOTE="VCC, post: 1134441, member: 6399"] He looks to have all the right parts, would like to see a little more middle to him. You should be feeding him 2-3 % of his body at this time, so if he weighs 800 he should be eating about 20 to 24 pounds a day of grain, grass hay without the alfalfa would be better; your feed has all the protein he needs. As far as rinsing and brushing (I assume you do not have a blower) You need to rinse him daily and then take a rice root brush and brush him upward at a 45* angle from back to front, the legs from hoof to knee/hock in an upward direction. You want to brush him until dry, if you have a fan put that directly behind him while you brush, it will help keep the hair going in the right direction and dry him faster. We only use soap on them once a week. They do not need to have long hair (even though it helps) trained hair that has a little pop make then look fresher and a little softer made then calves who are flat haired. Keep working with him, do your best and have fun, hard work always pays off in the end. [/QUOTE]
