Help
Actually, she needs a helping handful of bacteria in her
rumen These bacteria will help her convert roughage mto
more digestible nutrients. They'll help your calf grow faster
at less cost
You can give her a helping hand by supplying her with new
Red Rose Rumenator. It seeds the rumen with the extra
bacteria she needs. And, if your older animals show jaded
appetites, send Red Rose Rumenator to the rescue. It helps
them get nutrition during dysfunctions.
Red Rose Rumenator contains rumen bacteria, the growth '
substances they require, and vitamins, minerals, and anti
biotics easily provided thru the animal’s feed.

GROUND BEEF PRICES
INDICATE CUT SOURCE
Do you wonder why there are
so many prices for ground beef
or hamburger?
Ground beef may come from
the chuck, neck, brisket plate,
or shank, flank, and heel of
round, reports Louise Hamilton,
extension nutrition specialist of
the Pennsylvania ‘State Univer
sity. Usually the lowest priced
ground beef has the highest per
centage of fat. The most expen
sive is from the choicest cuts
‘round steaks or sirloin tips.
