Mike Bolinger of 3D Ranch in Akron, Colorado gives his feedback on Riomax.
Herd Details
- Cow/calf operation
Fast Facts
- Increased weaning weights
- Ran a separate test on 30 cows on Rio® and had 100% breed-back
- Has only ever doctored 1 calf per year from a 500-800hd herd since being on the tubs
- Calf weight gains were 50-70lbs more on the tubs compared to the calves that were not on the tubs during a very wet season (both sets of calves were on the same grass)
- Framier and healthier calves are more appealing to buyers
After hearing from a good friend of his about the minerals Riomax® offered, Mike thought he'd give the tubs a shot. After running a test on half his herd, the cattle on Riomax® came in at an average 53lbs heavier than the half that did not have access to the tubs. Mike continued experimenting with the tubs and has seen major increases in breed-up and healthier calves. Watch to hear more about Mike's take on all the different ways the tubs have helped out his operation!
