I will be raising a market steer and I was wondering if you guys would like updates about him?

Thanks for the help by the way:)

So for the pen I have some extra panels that I will be using (11.5 ft) and for the shelter I found a plan that’s 10x12. I also have a ton of scrap wood from the last owners in the loft of our barn so I will be using that.

Thank you for the encouragement! I will be looking into more things about muscle development, I don’t think it will be much of a problem though because there’s steers each year at my fair and they all have really good muscle, I wonder why that is🤔. I also talked to my dad about the fence and...

Hi Finnie! So he will be able to leave his shelter whenever same with going in all throughout the day and night. He will be a show steer so when I get him halter trained I will take him out for walks/training, I do have a large field that’s about 3 acres and I used to have a smaller pen, but...

I will be getting him in December and selling him in July, my friend that has raised steers said that the pen is a good size. How we raise steer is that they always have access to a pen to walk around, so the steer can go and get water or walk around his pen at night if he likes. I did think...

Im only doing one steer but I might make it a bit bigger

Hey guys sorry for not updating you all but sooo much has happened!! So here’s the rundown :) The night before me and my sister had the leave for fair my mom said that we wouldn’t be able to go because my dad was fighting a big fire and he wouldn’t be back home for a few days, and my moms...

I actually think I figured it out here’s my design :)

I’m going to make a post tomorrow because I just got back from fair and wow am I tired it’s 11:10 PM right now soo…. :)

Ok so I’m leaving for the fair grounds tomorrow morning, yesterday and today I’ve been packing. I’m going to be bunking with my best friend so I’m happy that we get to hang out. I’ll let you guys know on how I place 😊. So ya that’s about it, if any of you guys are in the Sierra Valley, Truckee...

Ok so a lot have happened in the last week sooo sorry for not posting. Ok first things first I have now found out I was spelling Murf’s name wrong his name is Murphys Law but I call him Murph for short. He’s doing great with training, and my 4h adviser was saying I was doing great with...

Ya that’s what I was thinking, just do the steer and then whatever money I get from the auction save the amount I need for the next animal and then the rest for college

That makes sense I would also be auctioning the steer off at my local county fair because it’s for 4H so I’d make profit from that. I also only have 3 more years left in 4h and raising a show steer has been a goal of mine for a few years.

So I want to raise a steer for 4h next year, unfortunately I would have to pay for everything except a trailer. I’m going to start working in late August 16/h 16 hours a week is what my dad said so I’d make enough by December for the steer ($3,000 I think was the estimate) but I want to save for...

Ohhh that’s interesting unfortunately we don’t have any milking goats but my mom has been looking for a milking cow so I will have to try that next year :)

Ya I have free fed him from the moment I got him, I have zero idea about his genetics tho.

He weighed 21lbs yesterday but our scale is a little faulty so I think he’s 23-26lbs by now

I will hopefully be getting a show steer next year but I need a bit more space in my barn for him so I drew out the lay out of my barn to get so feedback on it. I can’t move the pig pen, my dad wants to convert the tack room into a wash room so I think I can do that. But keep in mind that I am...

Just weighed Murf and he is now 23.4lbs!!! On July 5 he was 22lbs so I am very surprised I think he will be at least 25lbs by fair
