Most producers say they’re in the grass business first — and they’re right. Because everything starts there.
Reading Time: 4 minutesIn this recorded Zoom presentation, Alfredo DiCostanzo, PhD (Professor & Extension Animal Scientist) breaks down research conducted for Rio Nutrition on Nutrizorb, a key component in Riomax tubs.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThree different operations share why Turboboost® Paste became part of their calf health program, especially on high-risk, long-haul, and bought-in calves. From fewer sick pulls, better gut health, and quicker starts at the bunk, to reducing clostridial bloat and stress after the sale barn—these are real results from real cattlemen.
Reading Time: 2 minutesEvery ranching operation is shaped by five key forces—what we call The Ranch Hand. Two of them—weather and markets—are out of your control. But the other three—management, genetics, and nutrition—are where real progress is made.
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhen Duane and Trevor first started designing “the white tub,” they thought affordability was the goal. As the idea took shape, they realized something more important — they were walking away from results, which goes against everything we’re centered on.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteMoving heavy mineral tubs doesn’t have to be a chore. In this educational video, the Riomax® team walks through 8 practical, ranch-tested ways to move, lift, and haul tubs—whether you’re using a side-by-side, pickup, ATV, bale deck, or just a bit of old-fashioned ingenuity.
Reading Time: 3 minutesWhen cattle are on Riomax®, the results don’t just show up in the numbers — they show up in the pasture. There are clear, visual differences you can spot when the product is doing its job.
Reading Time: 3 minutesIn this behind-the-scenes video, Darryl, our Supply Chain Manager, walks you through the entire Riomax production process — from formulation at our Redwood Falls, Minnesota headquarters, to blending the key ingredients, and finally cooking and curing at our partner plants.
Reading Time: 2 minutes“Oh, they always eat more than they’re supposed to.” That’s a common sentiment among ranchers skeptical of mineral tubs, particularly when they hear about the low consumption rates of the Riomax tub. But here’s the truth: Riomax isn’t built to a price point; it’s built to a value point. And, it’s backed with a guarantee that we stand by.
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhen most ranchers think about a mineral program, it’s often seen as just another expense—a line item that chips away at the bottom line. But the truth is, a proper mineral program should be more than just a cost. It should be a driver of herd performance and profitability for your operation.
Reading Time: 3 minutesRiomax isn’t just another protein tub; it’s a smarter way to supplement protein, save feed, and cut costs. By enhancing microbial activity, improving digestion, and creating microbial protein, Riomax helps ranchers achieve better results with less feed. That’s why Riomax truly is “The Tub That Pays for Itself.”
