What month do you want your steers born?
What show are you targeting the steers?
Embryo recipient those girls.I'm not. I have a few commercial heifers that I'd like to get bred in case the calves turn out to be of quality.
Are you planning to show the steers because I've shown goats and cows for 5 years now ?What month do you want your steers born?
Thanks for that answer. I guess I probably should explain more. After I sold all of my registered animals I retained a couple of commercial girls. They both have been getting some pretty good looks and comments from some of the parents that do have kids showing. I do not show. I don't want to show. All I want to do is breed them for calving in the right time frame and if any calves turn out of the quality to show, then I'll donate it to a kid that couldn't otherwise afford to buy one. I don't want to spend a ton of money getting there, either. I'm at 50% on my luck with embryos and I stopped messing with those a few years back.If your planning to show by the end of show day they should be 14-19 months by show day and from showing by the first part of the year our steer we're about 6 months old just weaned and put on grain when we buy our and by the end of showing they are about 14-19 months old hope I could help you
Thank you.August to December born to hit any of the Texas majors except for the State Fair.
we are breeding in january. We have a steer we are showing that is an October calf and one that is a February. I would think October-December would be ideal. The plan is to target San Antonio and/or Houston depending on how they are growing.Thanks for that answer. I guess I probably should explain more.
