for belter bloom at show time
for better condition at calving time
Be-Co-Lass is a bulky conditioning feed and a valuable supplement to
pasture feeding. It keeps the digestive tract in good condition and keeps
cows on feed because they like its rich, sweet flavor.
In Be-Co-Lass you have a uniform mixture of beet pulp, bran, crushed
oats, minerals and molasses with dehydrated alfalfa which includes the
carotene or provitamin A necessary to vigorous health.
Compared with beet and citrus pulps, Be-Co-Lass is higher in protein,
has many times the content of Vitamins A and D and trace minerals.
Be-Co-Lass assures superior bloom during the show season Before
freshening it helps prevent udder congestion... then contributes to heavy
milk production without creating excessive fat
Many dairymen whose herds are consistently high in production tell us
of the unusual values of Be-Co-Lass as a roughage stretcher and conditioner
See your nearest Beacon Dealer and examine a sample of Be-Co-Lass
... or write your nearest Beacon office for complete information on
Be-Co-Lass and Beacon Feeding Programs
Be-Co-Lass is an important part of the feeding pro
gram for many of the highest producing herds m
