Rough-N-Ready Calf Creep Feed

 

These people think so...    
     

Vincent Arnold

70 Cows

With Rough 'N' Ready the cows come into the barn with better conditioning on them. I also noticed a better conception rate. on the calf side, they were heavier at weaning and were ready to eat after they were weaned.

I like Rough 'N' Ready because it keeps the calves on the right side of the fence, and they aren't walking the fence line looking for food. Rough 'N' Ready also gives the cows a break and I can wean sooner wtih heavier calves.

I feel feeding Masterfeeds' Rough 'N' Ready pays. My calves keep growing and cows stay in better condition when the pastures start to dry up. My calves are easier to wean and go right ahead with no set backs when they enter my feedlot.

I like Rough 'N' Ready because the calves weighed up better than the year before despite the lack of pasture this past summer.

We creep feed Masterfeeds' Rough 'N' Ready because it pays! All our calves are finished in our own feedlot and creep feeding gets our calves eating and gaining well before they are weaned. This maximizes our genetics and saves valuable days to market.
