The“ Perfect Ration
you can’t buy
it- you haye
to build it!
The reason is simple: feed companies
don’t produce a protein supplement or
dairy ration that’s exactly right for every
dairyman’s needs. If they did, nobody
could afford to buy it.
But, you can have the Perfect Ration for
your particular feeding needs ...by
building it yourself.
How? By using your own gram and
roughage in combination with natural pro
tein and VIGORTONE pre-mixes.
You see, by blending your own fresh
ration, you know exactly what goes in it and
how much. Now, control of the quality,
balance, and cost of the ration is back in
the hands of you, the feeder

content of your ration without effecting

sees to that.
