VEAL CALVES can help you
MAKE MORE MONEY on tl
BE-CO-VEALER PRO
Experiments at the Beacon Dairy Research:
on-the-faim feeding trials have proven that hif
veal calves can he raised on Be-Co-Nurse, Beacon’
placer. This opens a whole new profit.opportunity
men who might otherwise “bob” their surplus cal l
than raise them on milk.
A 200 lb. veal calf can be expected to sell for
or more. The initial value of this calf will he abc
and the cost of five bags of Be-Co-Nurse . • >
fcOygrow the calf to market weight . . . will be
$26.00. Thus you can expect a labor return of,
more per calf.
Think what this means in a 45 cow common
This herd may- well yield 20 bull calves. If only
these are raised as Be-Co-Vealers an additional
$2OO or more can result.
For your free copy of the Be-Co-Nurse Mi
and Be-Co-Vealer program, phone or write us too
