What breed of steer. where bouts do you live. How many pounds a day? First off keep him unstressed and cool. I would Give him Little oats maybe a pound. 5 pounds of corn. then ask where you get your feed if they have like club calve feed or sweet feed or creep ration (its all the same diff place all diff things) give him about 12lbs of that maybe 12% protein. Corn makes him fat thats why you dont want to give him to much of that. also feed that twice a day. you want him eating 21 pounds a day. make changes slow.
