B8 8 C f MILK REPLACER
It is often said that Beacon Be-Co-Nurse gives calves “everything
but mother love.” This lugh-quality milk replacer is the first step in
the Beacon feeding program for better herd replacements. 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.

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.
