County extension assistant Merritt Canady and ISU extension specialist Tom Wickersham advise 4 H members to start fitting steers and lambs early. Lambs should be removed from ewes by 30 days before showing and put on dry feed. steers should be halter trained, clipped, and kept in clean stalls with good ventilation. Regular brushing, minimal washing, parasite checks, and early foot trimming are recommended to prevent lameness and ensure show readiness.
