WILL SHE BE A TOP PRODUCER? Management-for-profit the PIONEER way starts with feeding the dry cow. PIONEER feeding programs give to the dry cow the nutrients she needs to maintain body reserves, produce a vigor ous, healthy calf, and freshen strong, ready to go into top production and maintain the pace right through lactation. The feed with the lowest price tag is not always a bargain. PIONEER feeds cost less because they produce more earn greater profits. A dry cow, fed only 600 lbs. of PIONEER, may return as much as 2,000 lbs. more milk as a result, and 2,000 lbs. of milk at $4/cwt. means a return of SBO in extra milk production, a bonus profit. There’s profit in PIONEER. Stop in soon and talk over your operation with us. Remember, there’s a PIONEER feed to fit your need.
