Size in ct cow means MILK to you and size in a
cow is easiest to get when that cow’s a calf!
At no time in the life of a cow does she grow like she does when she’s a calf
That’s when Nature gives her that irigrowii “want” to grow which, through
proper feeding and management on your part, lets a calf triple ... sometimes
quadruple... her weight in four short months.
Purina’s calf Chow teammates... Nursing Chow and Calf Startena, have what
it takes £o help calves grow to half tfleir breeding weight in four months’ time.
Purina Nursing Chow, a top milk replacer, supplies a baby calf’s milk needs
during her all-important first 30 days and provides growth-stimulating, disease
preventing vitamins, minerals and antibiotics as well.
Purina Calf Startena, a complete calf Chow, has been developed by years of labo
ratory research and on-the-farm testing to provide carefully-blended nutrients
for strong bones, deep bodies and healthful vigor.
Raise your calves the Purina way with Purina-
Nursing Chow and Calf-Startena. Let these
famous calf Chows help you grow big calves
today... for big cows tomorrow!
