For Sara's ranch, it's a fight between drought and the next generation.
SARA LEMBURG - EWING, NE
Fast Facts
- Saw a big increase in contentedness of cattle
- Extended their pastures - previously ran cows on a 3-4 day rotation and after Riomax they were on 4-5 day rotation
- Forage savings, even during a drought
- Weaning weights increased by 72 lbs
- Better herd health
Sara was worried about the grass situation for the coming summer.
Her husband started researching things to do to help extend their pastures, and he came across Riomax cattle lick tubs. She admits, it was hard to get around the up-front cost, but once she broke it down to per head per day cost, the orange tubs were soon out in her pasture.
It wasn't long before she became a believer. Not only was she relieved to see them working, but her cattle were able to go another day on her pasture rotation, and that was in the middle of a drought. "We were amazed with how content the cattle were." Plus she saw a 72lb increase in weaning weights and better herd health. With all these benefits, she says, "Riomax is the tub that pays 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.
