[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1399722, member: 24016"] Adding stabilized rice bran will help add condition and put a nice bloom on him. Melatonin implants can be expensive, but give two benefits-increased hair growth and increased ADG. It will also mellow one out so long periods on the road cause less travel stress and weight loss. If the price of the melatonin implants worries you, some people just buy the human grade capsules and break them over the steer's feed. As for the growth implant, ralgo seems to get the job done. Just be aware of rules your target terminal show may have for residue and banned substances. Also, if you do implants, keep your daughter away from the steer during the process. They can get a bit head shy, and you don't want the steer to associate her with the pain caused to him. Its a small thing that can help a lot! We always make sure anything we have to do that causes pain to a show animal (implants, tattoos, nose rings, ect) is done by someone who won't be on the halter often. [/QUOTE]
