It's Beacon Pasture Pel-Ets a 16% protein, 3.5% fat, 10% fiber ration in completely pelleted form. Too many cows get a good boost in milk pro duction but fall off in butterfat test on lush pasture, which is high in patatability but low in fiber. To help avoid a drop in butterfat test, the fiber level in Beacon Pasture Pel-Ets has been set at 10%. Many cows, too, get their boost in milk produc tion on pasture at the expense of body condition and lower milk production later in lactation. Feed Beacon Pasture Pel-Ets to maintain body con dition and to meet the energy needs of your cows energy needs that can't be met by pasture alone. Beacon Pasture Pel-Ets are priced right, too. The formula takes maximum advantage of in gredient values that are greatest during the pasture season. The result is a feed that combines high nu tritional value and low price.
