Dairymen everywhere are talking about Ful-O-Pep Cattle-izer Dairy
Feed—the biggest breakthrough, in dairy cattle nutrition in this century. -
In herd after herd, the story is the same: more milk on the same amount
of feed ,
Based on an entirely new principle in ruminant nutrition, Ful-O-Pep
Cattle-izer Dairy produces up to 20% more usable energy than regular
Super Milking Feed. And records show this extra energy results in an
average of 10% more milk after only 4 weeks on feed.
What would 10% more milk mean for your profits?,

It has been a quick climb
to honors for the Royers, but
it has not been without hard
woik and disappointments The
