It allows you to market more milk, get bigger milk checks, and still supply all needed nutritional requirements for growing calves to develop big frames, strong bones and smooth hair coats. Be-Co-Nurse is carefully foimulated, using a high proportion of dairy products (9(Fc milk solids) which provide the natural balance of amino acids found in whole milk. It contains no cereal proteins or high-fiber ingredients. Fortified with necessary vitamins and min erals, Be-Co-Nurse contains a conti oi'od amount of fat for energy, as well as impiovicl growth and protection against scours. Be-Co-Nurse slays in solution—the calf gets it all. One 25-lb. bag of economical Be-Co-Nur-c icplaces 225 lbs. of whole milk and is usually adequate for the average calf. To estimate how much Be-Co-Nurse can save you, check the table below. Whan milk prlcas ara: Ba-Co-Nurse can save you, per calf. FREE LITERATURE. For better calves, able to produce to in herited capacity, follow the Beacon feeding program, including Be-Co- Nurse and Beacon Calf Grow. Ask your Beacon Feed Dealer or Beacon Advisor for the free Beacon Dairy Calf “Tells How” Feeding Guide, and the new 10th edition of “Profitable Dairy Management”—l9o pages of practical dairying information, including a detailed section on milk replacers and raising calves more profitably.
