[QUOTE="SKF Show Cattle, post: 571331, member: 4313"] My daughter's steer is weighing a little over 850 and our fair is the first week of March. He's right were we want him right now he needs to be about 1275 by March. I would rather be a little bit on the heavy side now because my daughter will be hauling her steer a lot because she does a lot of prospecting with him. It is easier to hold or have to take weight off then it is having to push one. Last year her steer weighed 600lbs at this stage of the game and he ending up being a picky eater and at one point and time went off feed and she was never able to get him where he needed to be. We've been showing for eight years now and all our heavier steers did much better in the end then one we had to push hard. What is your steer's frame score? That makes a big difference about how much they should weigh now plus if you do a lot of prospect shows before your fair it helps to have some extra weight. [/QUOTE]
