Are Riomax Cattle Lick Tubs Worth the Upfront Price? Hear from a Rancher in the Big Muddy Valley

dave wilson - minton, sk

Fast Facts

  • Customer since 2014
  • 20%-30% feed savings
  • The tub costs 30¢-40¢ a day, savings are 50¢-60¢ a day
  • Dang near 100% conception rates on younger cows
  • Reduced calf sickness
  • 100% the tub pays for itself

Ranching in the east end of the "big muddy valley", Dave was looking for a way to improve his cattle's performance, and Riomax® caught his eye.

The upfront price had him asking, "Well is it really worth it?" But after a little number crunching, that price went away. "The tub is free, if you're willing to do the math."

So many things that go into ranching are out of our control, but the Rio mineral program gives ranchers peace of mind. With the hay and forage savings, Dave's got the confidence he won't have to sell out when times get tough. Add increased conception rates and reduced sickness issues; he knows it's a product they'll stick with for the long run. "There's nothing on the market that can even compare."

"100% the tub pays for itself." Dave says, tenfold in fact. "If someone told you that if you try this, you're gonna make $1,000... why not try it?"

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.
