Okay my steer is worthless. he eats less than 4 scoops a feeding now. I've got him on antibiotics, I just pulled him off hay a week ago I've done everything by the book. He won't eat and need weight and finish.
My plan load him up on probios(I mean like 3-4 tubes) it may sound crazy but after all I have tried I don't care if it is crazy
put baking soda in his feed to control the pH in his stomach and possibly give him Mylanta or something to coat his stomach before he eats
If you have any crazy Ideas let me hear them. We are implanting him the 1st week of december and I assume that will help his appetite. our show is the 2nd week of jan.
don't bother asking what I am feeding that has no relation to how he eats, I've tried combo's of everything and anything I've even sat there and squeezed his tail for 3 min before he eats to see if that would help. ( it is supposed to according to research but I didn't notice anything.
Sorry if that sounded rude but I am at the end of my rope with this steer
