• low cost feeding program
• sound, rapid growth
It’s iust simple arithmetic. Figure what a 200 lb. veal
calf will bung on today’s market. Then deduct the value of
the calf at buth ($lO to $l5) and the cost of four bags of
Bc-Co-Nui se ($19.60). The difference is your net profit.
That’s light . . . just four bags of 80-Co-Nurse will
grow a choice, plump, ready to market, 200 lb. veal calf in
seven weeks. High in milk solids, animal fat and fortified
with all needed vitamins and minerals, Be-Co-Nuise also
contains Aureomycin for improved growth and to protect
against scorn s. Calves are sleek and trim middled, no grain,
or hay is fed.
