How is the steer doing? Growing good I hope.

Kids coming now?

Yes, he growing good. Show is in a couple of weeks. Maurine got some pictures when we were walking him yesterday, I'll see if I can post.

We measured his heart girth a couple of weeks ago and it was 74" and table estimates weight at 1127 lbs.


Not sure how accurate that is, but that's about what we thought he weighed.

We are mixing in a little Senior Horse Feed in with the steer feed he's been getting to try to get him over 1200 by the show.

Yes, kids are coming. I think we have had 14 does and 6 bucks at this point.

The tape must have been pretty close because he weighed 1148 this morning at weigh in. So, he has gained 308 lbs since December 6th. That's pretty decent.
Show is tomorrow. I'm not at the arena but Maurine said there were a couple that might be a little better than him, but more that weren't nearly as good.
