[QUOTE="VCC, post: 1135999, member: 6399"] They all looks good, what the steers need now is a rice root brush and someone with time on their hands and healthy joints. While they is wet brush him up and forward with the rice root brush, brush him until the hair starts cooperating, then blow him out in the same direction. You need 2 brushes one for each steer, they should be worn out by the time you show. They will shed prior to your show so if he starts now and keeps it up until his show the hair will be trained and give him a fresher softer look. I would put them on Stabilized Rice Bran, start with a pound a day, and 2to 3 months out get them on 2 pounds a day. It will put on a smooth layer of finish, you can run your hand sown them and it just slide down their body. It will definitely help soften up the first steer. There are a lot of supplements out there, I have found for the best ROI the rice bran works best for me, helps add oil to the hair and keeps their skin from getting flaky. If the calf has a lot of cowlicks, you may need to brush the hair in a different direction and then up and forward, they will straighten out over time but can be a real pain until then. Tell your boy to keep up the good work and have fun. [/QUOTE]
