Secrets to feeding a show steer
Some simple things, first off I agree feed them the same time every day, routine is key for cattle, the better you stick to a routine the more relaxed they will be, if you deviate from your routine some calves will stress.
Best show feed for steers
Do not change feed if you can help it, get them on a good ration and keep them on it, you can make subtle changes but make them over a few days. Watch them, if they go off feed, get loose, show signs of bloat, address these issue immediately, first is something new or different, is it a new batch of feed, new hay, is the weather different, are they running a fever, (have a livestock thermometer on hand and use it), figuring out what is going on and what the cause is allows you to make the needed changes or adjustments with out setting them calf back.
If you take the wait and see approach they might be fine or they may go down hill and you may end up setting them back a few days or weeks.
