YES!
A good Angus steer, especially if you are choosing a steer for 4H or FFA, must have good conformation, good average daily gain (preferably 2 lbs per day or more) and good feed intake. You can choose your steer from a local cattle producer that raises Black Angus cattle to find a good steer to raise for the show circuit. The cattle producer will help you find the best steer for you as well.
It is usually a sign of respect and treating the steer affectionately....Naming it shows you care for it, and it is also much, much easier to call a steer a name such as buddy instead of just a number such as 2459. (Most farms number their cattle, so when you receive a steer for a 4-H project, there is usually a number on the registration.)
Name him Sirloin or T-Bone. :) And we know what a Hereford looks like, that's why I edited your question for you.
Yes.
This all depends on the kind of grain you are feeding that steer, since there are different levels of crude proteins, TDNs, ADF's, etc., that comes with different grains. And the acres of grass depends on where you live and how much forage biomass grows in that particular area. So all those factors that are missing in this question make it impossible to answer. Typically, though, it takes more pasture to raise one steer than it does to raise a steer on grain. But how much is unknown at this point.

4h-40 = -36
4H is a youth group and they do have a pony club. You can find out more about them on 4H site.
SOme projects that are offered to the 4-H'ers are animal project and you dont neccessarily have to "raise" an animal, but if you decide to take a animal project somtimes you may have to breed and raise babies and keep a good budget while raising the animals.
4h + 6 = 22 So 4h = 16 and then h = 4
You do not have to be a 4H member to watch a 4H show, but you do have to be a member to be in the 4H show.
Yes there is a 4h program for horses
