[QUOTE="maplelanefarms_ont, post: 161931, member: 3057"] Lauren, We have prepared a few heifers and steers for show, and I know what is like it is kinda fustrating for the novice showperson: if your project isn't gaining well, isn't leading how you pleased and it gets fustrating when you show up to the show and your animal just doesn't fit it. Beleive me, alot of us have been there. I'm only speaking from a couple years experience. I have only been showing at local fairs. I'm 17 and haven't joined the Beef 4-H club or anything but my sister has and I help her with her calfs and my own. So what I'm trying to say, don't worry it will work out in the end, the starting is fustrating but the ending is for the most part is rewarding. If your calf is eatting the feed and liking it, just up the amount. Like everyone else said: Hay is Very, Very Important. We feed lots of hay, they eat it and they like it. The only side effect of hay is haybellies. If they were outside more often they might be able to work that belly off but its up to your circumstances whether or not you can give them all the outside they need. I have also posted a few questions, sure people sound harsh but really if you really think about what they are saying. Is it really that harsh? The poster posted the Question! Weren't you expecting some sort or comment you wouldn't like? I agree 100% with everyone here. I do beleive that you need to know anything about your steers/heifer and taking someone elses opinion on feed wouldn't be my first choice until I knew everything about it. Also maybe you are paying one heck of a price for this feed when in the end it is just cracked corn and, you could be getting something cheapper and better. (oh ya, your feed, the way you described it sounds like cracked corn) I just hope next time you don't get as upset with remarks, really they are just words and personally if you don't like waht they are saying don't do it.
