Hey everybody! Â Today’s post is going to be really short. Â I just thought I would tell all of you that we had our 4-h steer weigh-in Saturday, the 7th of January. Â Some of you guys may know that we train and take steers to our local county fair. Â So, we just took them to get weighed, and they also got a 4-h tag; that way the steers can be identified at fair as the steers we brought to weigh- in 7 1/2 months before. Â This way, they can also keep track of people’s steer weights from now until fair (the steers will get weighed again at fair).
Our steers weights:
8/51 (Colton’s):875 lbs
8/115 (Brittni’s):830 lbs
3/2 (Tierra’s): 840 lbs
Buddy steer: 785 lbs
If you are wondering, they all weighed in just fine. Â We estimated that they need to gain 2.5 lbs/ day until fair to get them to the weight that we want them at fair. Â We also have to remember that the steers will gain more in the winter than during the summer. Â They don’t eat as much when it is hot out. Â The steers are doing great, and we are all super excited about them!
