Visit the Steer Feeding Demonstration at the Stock Yards, Lancaster.
We can talk to you about Purina Steer

feeding operation. We can tell you why
it’s better than a single-source protein.
We can show you records of good daily
gain at low cost.... BUT THAT ISN’T
LIKE SEEING FOR YOURSELF.
That’s why we’re running a cattle feed
ing demonstration... .to let you see
first-hand just what Purina Steer Fa-
The Steers were started April 27th to be fed 120 days, weighed and
graded, divided into two pens of 10 steers each. They are being
fed at Stock Yard hours.

tena can do. We’re feeding two pens
of cattle. One pen gets Purina, the
other a single-source protein. We want
you to watch the progress of this feed
ing trial. Visit it often. We’re confident
the Purina-fed steers will show you how
you can produce faster gains and more
beef at less cost with Purina Steer Fa
tena than with a single-source proteitf
supplement.
