Now here's an all-new Purina calf-growing ration, spe
cially formulated to help you grow dairy herd replace
ments fast, breed them early, and freshen them between
22 and 24 months.
New Calf Growena helps you feed heifers at low cost from
two to six months, yet gives them the protein and energy
they demand. It’s fortified with vitamins and minerals
growing calves need.
Purina Calf Growena is the new member of the calf grow
ing team. To grow heifers fast, feed Purina Nursing Chow
to 4 or 5 weeks and Calf Startena to
2 months. Then, because they still
need a high level of protein and
energy, give them increased nutrition
with NEW Purina Calf Growena.
Start your next bunch of heifers grow
ing fast and producing early.
Get Purina Calf Growena. At the store
with the Checkerboard sign.
