What do you want to know?
Make sure heifers are gaining at least 3lbs a day, bulls need about 4 to be competitive. (That = between 20 and 25lbs. a day grain) Get calves clipped up and start training their hair. By now, you should already have been using a stick on them. All dehorning should be done. Nose rings should be in bulls, or nose leads should be bought if that is the way you want to go. WALK THEM A LOT! I usually will walk mine 2-3 miles/head/day. And when you do, change between a rope halter and one with a chain so they are used to a show halter.
Anything else that you want to know about just ask!
