How Creep Feeding
may help
your cattle profits
Lots of cattlemen in this area have found it pays to
creep feed their calves. Helps the calves, and their
mamas, too.
Here's proof from work with 2800 head of test cattle
where calves where fed Purina Creep Rations:
1. 34% more choice and good grade calves.
2. Heavier calves. Every 10 calves creep-fed Purina
returned weight equal to one extra calf. (No extra
cow to breed, feed and care for, either.)
3. Better cow condition. Cows
suckling creep-fed calves
carried 44 lbs. of extra
condition.
4. This extra cow condition
meant 16% more calves
the following season.
That's a big return for just a
little outlay in creep feeding
the Purina Way. Come in and
let us talk over your opera-
tion. Prove to yourself Purina
feeding can cost you less.
