Cows in the field

Why does tub consumption vary and when does it vary?

Cows will self-regulate on Riomax® so if the grass is really good, they will eat proportionately less.

WHAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE QUALITY FORAGES?

If the grass is really poor, they will eat proportionately more.  Cows have learned to self-regulate naturally.  (Why can't humans get that figured out?!?)  What we see is a consumption of 1/8lb to 1/3lb with 1/3lb being your ceiling that is where the COSTGUARD® consumption guarantee kicks in.  That takes the risk off of your shoulders.

Where we have ranchers that use Riomax® year-round, they will typically see an average consumption for the year close to the low side.  What they are seeing is those cows self-regulating because they are on a consistent plane of nutrition, they don't have the peaks and valleys like they would if you only feed for a few months and take them off again.
