Herd Details

  • 225 cow/calf pairs

Fast Facts

  • Calves were 14 lbs heavier 3 weeks earlier
  • Cut out cake in wintertime
  • Saved 5 lbs hay/hd/day
  • Awesome pregnancy rate through tough weather
  • It pays for itself!

Ron ranches 225 cow calf pairs in northwest Nebraska. He was feeding a local mineral mix and caking in the winter, but the costs were adding up.

Ron heard about Riomax® cattle mineral tubs from a neighbor, and after hearing the results he thought, "let's try it!" But it didn't come without a cost... in fact it was a HUGE sticker shock.

But now, between reduced caking costs, the condition of the cows, pregnancy rates, and pounds on the calves, Ron figures it's pretty much a "freebie". "I think were making money using these tubs versus what we were doing in the past," he says. "Like the label says, it'll pay for itself!"

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.
