So I have raised a steer every year for the last 14 yrs. My sis and bil dairy farm and her ai's his herd. Most I get are Holstein but I've had Norwegian red, Hereford, and waygu, crosses.
My next one she is still on bottle is a free martin fleckvieh.
Anyone ever heard of them or raise one...
I had an 20 month old sim/angus/holstien/Hereford cross that I cut took to the butcher two weeks ago. He weighed 1000lbs the weekend before Xmas. He weighed 1220 when he went in. My bil bottle feeds them and I buy them weaned. Sold half that paid for most of the feed. Put other half in freezer...
Just a few questions.
1. what do most people feed to their bucks?
2. What minerals promote horn growth and strength?
Looking to raise two bucks for breeding. Want them to have great bone growth and strength. Would like them to maintain weight with out being over weight. Last would like great...
