He thought it was too expensive, but 7 years later, he's still using the tubs
Paul Dicke - Wheeler, NE
Fast Facts
- Cut hay consumption from 35-40lbs to less than 30lb
- Increased conception rates 3-4%
- Reduced labor & waste by using biodegradable tubs
- Less fly irritation during summer
Paul Dicke wasn’t sold on Riomax at first — the price seemed too high. But after 7–8 years of using the tubs on his cow-calf operation in Wheeler County, he’s seen results that changed his mind completely.
After nearly a decade using Riomax, Paul shares how cutting back on hay from 40 pounds to under 30 per cow didn’t just save money — it helped prevent tip-overs and made a big impact on herd health. He breaks down the real numbers, talks about fly control with garlic-infused tubs, and explains how his conception rates have improved significantly.
From hay savings to healthier calves and no more plastic tub cleanup, Paul lays out exactly why the switch to Riomax has paid off — literally. If you’ve ever questioned whether premium nutrition products are worth it, this firsthand experience might just change your thinking.
