I'm Telling All My Neighbors About This Mineral Program
You say when. Yep. Go ahead. Hey. My name's Curtis Allen. Today, we're we're branding one set of our calves and, fixing to go do another set here in a minute. They branded a thousand head already this year, and they said your calves are wild, and they're they're big, and they're thick. And he said the rest of these cattle they just lay here and so hey I don't know Riomax or not but they're good stout calves. So I've used all different kinds of minerals but this last year I went on to Riomax and just kinda trying to find that that spot I was missing. As I was scrolling through Facebook, it just kept popping up, kept popping up, and so I started listening to some of the testimonials, and then I I figured out I talked with Julie over here. And anyway it just kind of went from there and we started using it a little bit and we like what we saw and we just stuck with it. I guess the main thing I was I would say after three months or so we could tell we could tell better better condition in our cows. I could actually tell, and I had a hard time believing this, but I can actually tell that the cows aren't using all my grass up. And, the condition of the cows overall is just better. In the wintertime, especially this, we had a lot of rain last fall and our grass really grew. And the grass, even though we got a lot of grass, the it just didn't have anything to it. And so I had to start supplementing with caking them. And so we're caking some, we're actually hauling a little bit of silage to some where it's handy. But the Riomax is I think balancing everything out for us and hopefully we're gonna get some rain. Here it is May and we hadn't had any rain and so, we're all ready to get some rain, get some green grass. But anyway, yeah, I think we're doing real good. The program we're on, I think it's working good for us. No matter what product you use, there's gonna be certain times you're gonna have to do some other things. I think the Riomax would be a good tub to just say, hey. This is your base. You're gonna build off of that. It's kind of your foundation. Let's build off that. And sometimes you may have to do a little extras. It's not not one thing gonna fix all. But I like the package. I like the mineral. We hadn't had any problems with calving. Our calves have been good and stout coming out. We just hadn't had any issues. And, this is my second calf crop on it, and this calf crop here is a nice calf crop. Because if there's something missing in that cow, it's that calf's show it, and then the cow's also gonna show it too. So you gotta you know, you always gotta have a good eye on watching your cattle and just trying to stay on top of things. And I bought a bunch of cattle this year. They come out of where it was green, and they come up here. So we had some a learning curve on some of that deal, the Riomax was our base and then we just built off of that. I'm telling you them cows look awesome right now. They're seven, eight months bred again and, we're ready to have another calf out of them. It'll be a good it'll be a good season. I tell you to give it a whirl because I'm telling all my neighbors about it. I really am. I mean, you gotta stay hooked with this deal. This is like any mineral program you get on. I mean, if you try it for two months, two months is not gonna fix your problem. You're gonna have to have you're gonna have to stay hooked with it a while just give it some time. And a guy asked me the other day, he said, would you still keep using it? And I said, no. I am using it. And so we keep it out. And you can look right over here. We got a couple of tugs out over here with these cows, and and we just we just keep it out as part of our program.

Fast Facts
- Bigger, Stout Calves
- Better Cow Herd Condition
- No Problems During Calving
After trying different mineral programs over the years, Curtis Allen was looking for the piece that might be missing in his operation.
That's when he decided to try Riomax. After a few months, he began noticing better condition in his cows and made RioMax the foundation of his nutrition program. "I guess the main thing I would say after three months or so we could tell better condition in our cows."
Now on his second calf crop with Riomax, Curtis likes what he's seeing. "We hadn't had any problems with calving. Our calves have been good and stout coming out. We just hadn't had any issues."
Watch Curtis share why he's stayed with Riomax and what he's seeing in his herd today.

15-30% forage & hay savings with Riomax
Riomax® is revolutionizing the way ranchers deal with high input costs. With better digestion, your herd can get all the nutrients they need from less grass. This leaves you with more days on grass (you start feeding later in the fall), less stress, and a more padded pocketbook.
Seen a lot of savings on our on our pastures. Generally, figure about five and a half to six acres of pair around through here. We've been even last year through the drought of that we had of twenty twenty, we did four and a half acres of pair on on ours, still had adequate grass left. Cattle came off in good condition. They weren't weren't malnutritioned, weren't low body scores. Been running pretty consistent, six body score better on everything. We're paying right around fifty dollar an acre cash rent up here is kinda kind of a common thing. You can knock out an acre here off of every cow that that saves a lot of money. Mean, fifty fifty bucks and you don't need four hundred another four hundred acres. It's another twenty thousand. So all of a sudden you got forty forty five thousand dollars in your pocket and you still have all the extra added benefits through the mineral, the health benefits of it. And it really saved on the last year too with the drought. We didn't think we'd get through. We put the same amount of number in the pastures and it didn't rain. We pulled it out and we still had old grass in the pasture. I didn't know the tub saved that whole deal. We had stretched it a lot because there was a lot of people selling cows and we didn't sell anything and we didn't pull them out early. And this year, most of the pastures around here are pretty much nothing. And we drove through everything. We still got, you know, shoots of grass and tufts of grass all over the place. Not a lot, but it we kept them. It made a huge difference. As far as paying for itself, you know, you got to feed and you start saving instead of a lot of guys are up to forty five, fifty five pounds. It was figured somewhere in there a big cow and even when they had the calf on them sixty pounds. So if you're feeding thirty pounds, yeah, it's gonna easily pay for itself without you see a bit. I mean, we, you can see it on the cow calf pairs too, bigger calves. We calve in May, June, and we're weaving seven hundred and some pound calves off of Dallas. So it makes, yeah, we can see the difference really easy. You just go through each step and see We're running more cows than we used to run on the same acres. That is a big deal. Because I used to on on my pastures, they're not big pastures, but on my pastures, I used to run twenty five head and they would have it grazed down to nothing in five months easy. Now I can run thirty, thirty five on the same pastures, and they can stay there another month longer easy on any given year. And this year, they got to stay two months longer, and there's still grass left over. Well, yeah, it's high priced, but it's like if if you can afford or not. But I think you can afford it because you cannot afford not to feed it because you can get your cattle to market faster. They're healthier. You could run more cattle on your land or you can stay there longer before you have to move on to an another patch. The cows are way healthier. They're way more content. They're happy. They're happy cows.

"We've been able to save enough hay with Riomax and we're increasing our production with Rhyzogreen. Both of those products have made it possible for us to have the confidence in knowing we're gonna be just fine.

"I think it's a pretty cheap way to get way more out of your soil than what we do weithout. More out of what they eat, so they eat less, and Rhyzogreen gives them more grass."

"...It's a win-win. You're attacking it on both fronts and you're nailing it on both fronts, so it's kind of a no-brainer. Why wouldn't you do both (Riomax and Rhyzogreen) at the same time?"
Bradley Franke

"I saw increased yields on every field I treated, every one...The worst yield increase was 17% up to 85%."

“The ground I sprayed versus the ground I didn’t was about 3 bales to the acre difference... $300/acre value. The product has more than paid for itself. This is something we’ll continue to do. It speaks for itself.”

“Went from 40 acres/cow in this drought to 30 acres/ cow . . . that’s $70/ cow/year!“
