[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1813150, member: 968"] Thanks! No, not weaned. We wean right after Labor Day each year. Calves will be 6-8 months old. We won't vaccinate them again until few weeks after weaning. My feedlot buyer doesn't even want me to bother with the 3rd workup. He loves my steers - he says everytime "I make money on your steers". With the crazy price of steers, I called him the other day to confirm he still would be wanting them 1st of October. He said, "Oh yes. I love your steers." Always nice to hear. The show bull is being shown as cow/calf pair. The dam is 2 years old. The bull was not eating the little bit of grain we gave him, but this past month he started cleaning it up. Our show feed is 50% whole shell corn & 50% of a mixture of oats, Precon, Depth Charge & UltraFill. He was not finishing 1.5# of mixture each am & pm. Now, he is getting about 2.5#/am/pm - and cleaning up. Still very little. We don't want to fill him up on grain. Must keep him dependent on Mom. They are totally separated all day and are turned out together at night on lush pasture. They have taken a Supreme at New Jersey show. [ATTACH type="full"]33052[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
