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.
