When she freshens ...
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.
