THE BEST WAY TO
START A CALF
WIRTHMORE MILK MIZER
Its high fat content 10% means higher
energy and fast growth.
Vitamin A content (10,000 units), provides
disease resistance to scourn and resperatory in
fections.
New, powerful emulsifier (Propylene Glycal)
allows faster dispersion and aids in fat absorption
by the calf.
WIRTHMORE TWIN MIX CALF FEED
Twin-Mix is especially designed for feeding
from the first week to 4-5 months of age. It is
coarse and extremely palatable. Twin mix saves
money by helping to develop the Rumen early
allowing the calf to make maximum use of rough-
age.
It is fortified with vitamins and minerals to
help give the good growth and body development
that makes calves grow into better producing
cows.
TRY IT ON THAT NEXT CALF.
