Herd Details
- Cow calf operation with commercial black Angus mama cows crossed with Angus and shorthorn bulls
Fast Facts
- 5-8 lb feed savings = 75¢/hd/day hay savings, and Riomax® is only costing 40¢/hd/day
- Went from treating 8-12 calves for scours to 0 treats for scours
- Increased conception rates by 5%-6%, that's worth $10,000-$15,000
- Increased weaning weights by 15-20 lb
- It pays for itself!
Tom fed lick tubs but his cows would "wolf pack" them. And tubs don't last long that way.
When he switched to Riomax® lick tubs, his cows would take a few licks and go back and lay down. Plus, they'd get fat and shiny.
Since feeding the Riomax®, he's seeing 75¢/hd/day savings in hay alone, with the Riomax® only costing him 40¢. It ain't hard to see... "Riomax® does pay for itself."
But that's not all... the increase in conception rates is worth $10,000 - $15,000, plus, his weaning weights have increased. Tom says if you try them, you will be amazed.
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.
