[QUOTE="Hpacres440p, post: 1798875, member: 39347"] Tried to find a similar thread but failed, so here goes… These 2 steers are 13 and 14 mo (spot is 14) and on feed and spring pasture. Spotted steer was born here feom a purchased cow that ended up having liver flukes (found at processing), was weaned at 5 months and dewormed twice with ivermectin at weaning and at 10 months. Red steer red angus/brangus cross, home-bred, dewormed once with ivermectin. They’re on shared feedlot mix from co-op (cottonseed meal/corn/13% protein 4% fat). Red steer has the typical spring pasture manure-loose, but not water. Spot steer looks like he is shooting water out of a hose when he sharts. Both are gaining weight nicely, still have 3 and 4 months to go for processing. Quite a lot of clover in the pasture, but a good mix of grasses and other tasty broadleafs. I’m going to cut the feed a little for a week to see if spot firms up a hair. He is not getting chafing or scald because he is having projectile sharts-avoiding his entire backside. Leave be or change something? Drought sucked last year, grateful for the green now. Even corn stalks for filler is still being sold for $80/roll. [/QUOTE]
