With setting up steers is seen some people set them perfectly square and some have a leg set slightly behind them. What is the correct way?

@horsegurlnpa2 If you are standing nose to tail bring the the left leg forward a little bit. If you are standing side by side keep the two back legs even (square).

There are lot of great breeds of cattle out there, obviously Angus is our preference. Contact breed associations, your neighbors or county agents, they can help you determine which direction you should take. Good luck this year!

It is good to start early and practice. If you clip them out a month before, you can go back over them later on. This will allow you to fix any mistakes.

Be sure to watch Part 1 of Fitting and Showing Angus Cattle. These tips are great no matter what breed you have, though.

@Bilbybalfany to keep them from bloating, slowly raise the amount of grain your giving him and free feed his alfalfa of grass hay :) sometimes that doesnt always wokrk though cuz my steer this year bloated..... if you just keep a good eye on them all the time you shouldnt have that problem :)))
