HIGH PRODUCERS?
Dairy authorities say- that X out of 10 cons
could produce more milk with greater return
over feed cost, if just given the chance.
Why? Because artificial insemination .and un
proved selection of sires have increased most
herds up to a potential of 450 lbs. of fat or moie.
Special Feeding Program
The Beacon Hi-Spoed Dairy Program docs away
with set grain to milk ratios, which tend to under
feed high producers overfeed the low. The Boa
con Hi-Speed Program provides scientific feeding
schedules according to the potential production of
each cow. It matches the feed to the need for moie
milk, greater return over feed"cost.
A rocmit summary of 28 herds on D.H I
iioiiig the Beacon Program, shows increased nnlk
production of lbs. per cow, 14 of these heids
had been on the Beacon program two full years
Their increase per cow for the two-year period
was 1718 lbs. of milk, and $43.28 additional
income oven feed, cost.
Be sure your cows are producing- up to the
limits of their bml-in ability. Call us today f Ol

Program.
