Brad Harris, from the hot, dry, Southwest, shares how riomax pays for itself on his operation.
Herd Details
- Cow/calf operation
Fast Facts
- Riomax® tubs took care of almost all supplemental needs
- Achieved a 95% breed up
- Consumption dropped from 3/4 -1.5 lbs/head/day to 1/4 lb/head/day
- Input costs dropped from $35/head/month to $18-$20/head/month
- Saved time, labor, stress and fuel!
You can't miss Brad's passion for agriculture. Nothing drives him more than creating an environment to which the youth can come back to. H-V Ranch has been alive for 5 generations in West Texas and southeast New Mexico, and it doesn't seem as though it'll be fizzling out any time soon.
As an all-natural registered Angus producer, Brad watches his inputs and his costs very carefully. Having his cattle as part of a value-add program takes a different approach than commercial operations, but it's also more profitable. Brad watched Riomax® for several years before performing a year-long trial on 100 head of cattle. In the hot, dry Southwest, these cattle have to work for a living. Hear how Brad's trial went, and discover how he was able to cut out his cake and mineral supplementation without sacrificing results!
Open cows, pounds you don't wean, sickness, or forage that goes out the back end don't make you money, do they?
A healthy herd drives profits higher. And a profitable ranch can withstand volatile markets and unpredictable weather. Gain control of your future.
