You're taking a chance!
If you’ve been in the habit, of “booking” your feed before new-crop
information is available, you have been taking a chance with your
feedlot results.
You make money by producing the lowest cost pound of beef, not by
saving pennies on a "cheaper,” less efficient supplement or ration.
A good booking means nothing unless the feed itself is of high quality.
So why not wait until you have talked with us about Purina’s feeding
programs. They feature Purina Cattle Starters that will put cattle on
full feed the very first day. And they contain supplements “built-to-fit”
your own particular grain and roughages. Or complete Cattle Chows
that can save you work and may cut feeding costs.
Ask us also how you can protect your cost with Purina’s Firm Price
Plan.
