[QUOTE="cowgirlxupx1034, post: 498768, member: 5373"] Wow, it's been a really long time since I've last been on here! Bear is doing really well, he was wild for a while since he got sick in October and we had to give him 3 shots and we had to take his rectal tempeture 2 to 3 times a day. Now he's much better and I've been started brushing on him with the curry comb. He doesn't really like hay, but his trough is always full of hay. His ration of feed is 10 pounds of corn, 5 pounds of C.O.B (corn, oats and barley), and 1 pound of supplement per day. We're thinking he weighs some where between 700-850 but we won't know until the weigh in next month. He's an Angus and Maine-Anjou cross. Heres some background info on him for those who didn't see the orginal post in october. I bought him from the Humbles in Fort Pierre, SD. He weighed 565 when I got him and he was 7 months old in October.
