The Tub That Pays for Itself – CA

Last updated on June 20th, 2024 at 11:27 am

Riomax. The tub that pays for itself.

The cattle tub that pays for itself...

Sounds pretty bold, huh?

Yep, it may be, but we're here to ensure that's exactly what it does on operations all across Canada. See what these Canadian ranchers have to say about Riomax!

Ross McDonald

“We’re not a high input user by any means but there are orange tubs all over our place! And I’ve been challenged by the neighbors - well these tubs are pretty expensive - but I don’t know, I’ve done the math and they haven’t disappointed me yet.”

- Ross MacDonald
Lake Alma, SK

Kevin Stopanski

“Doubled carrying capacity where we swath graze. Decreased calving window to 45 days from 60 days. Increased conception rates on the cows from 6-8% open to 4% open. We’re very excited with what we’ve seen thus far.”

- Kevin Stopanski

Let's talk about the 15-30% hay/forage savings we consistently see across North America.

Here's the math on an example 400 head ranch:

Avg. daily hay savings (CAD)

$264

ON 400 HEAD

(Saving 15% of $250/ton hay at 35 lb per day)

Avg. daily Riomax® cost (CAD)

$189

ON 400 HEAD

(semi load pricing)

Daily profit
(CAD)

$75

ON 400 HEAD

But how?

Using our 19-component digestion package, Nutrizorb®, we feed the bugs in the rumen, so there’s more of them and they’re more active. Essentially, we’re squeezing more nutrients from every single mouthful. Your cows are satisfied with less feed.
Furthermore, when the bugs die, they become true microbial protein, which is an additional protein source for the cow.

"Honestly, it's been excellent. Healthy grass, cows are cleaning up the older hay too, not just the green stuff. Cattle are in fantastic shape! For the amount of rain we got, or lack of, this spring, I expected to have to move pastures by this time and ya know, I think we'll make it to the end of summer maybe!"

- Meyronne, SK

And now for the 3-10% increase in conception rates

Here's the math on an example 400 head ranch:

Avg. added number of calves

12

ON 400 HEAD

(Improving conception by 3%)

Added Revenue

$21,450

FROM 12 MORE CALVES

(Weaning 560 lb calves at $3.25/lb)

But how?

Using Esqort®, our 100% protected copper, manganese, zinc, and selenium package, we get the key trace minerals to the cow’s bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream the minerals work to improve overall health, immune status and serve to boost reproductive performance.
Additionally, Nutrizorb®, our digestion package, enables your cows get more nutrients, helping ensure they are on an inclining plane of nutrition to ensure they breed.

"95% in the 1st cycle on the replacement heifers"

- Czar, AB

We also see a 10-40 lb increase in weaning weights

Here's the math on an example 400 head ranch:

Avg. increase in pounds at weaning

3,720

ON 372 CALVES

(At +10 lb per calf)

Added Revenue

$12,090

FROM 372 CALVES

(At $3.25/lb)

But how?

First off, our impact on reproductive performance is not just getting more cows bred, but also getting cows bred sooner. This means calves on the ground sooner and more days at mama’s side before weaning. At roughly 2 lb per day, this stacks up pretty quick.
Secondly, better digestion for mama means higher milk fat. This has a direct correlation to the daily gain of your calves all summer long.

"We’re making extra money on that uniform calf crop and having bigger calves at the sale. We have now been weaning 680-720 lb steers. This past year, we didn't hold any steers back at all since they fit in the same weight class. Every single steer sold in one group!!"

- Corning, SK

Not to mention improved overall herd health

A Montana rancher with 475 head dollarized it like this:

- Eliminated Pour On: $1,140 USD
- Eliminated Extra Coccidiosis Prevention: $4/HEAD X 250 HEAD= $1,000 USD
- Reduce Labor Cost: $5,700 (reduced time putting out tubs, mineral, and hay that is now saved)
- Reduce Vehicle Maintenance/Fuel Cost: $3,000 USD
TOTAL SAVINGS: $10,840 USD

But how?

As mentioned earlier, 100% protected key trace minerals means they’re doing their job. Minerals that get into the bloodstream equate to improved immune function for your herd. With proper mineral supplementation, your herd can fight sickness from the inside out.

"Calves are very vigorous. Getting up and going like never before! They are born and jump up and suck! From what I have seen out of this program so far, I have decided as long as I own cows, I will be feeding these tubs."

- Theodore, SK
