Staggering? It certainly is. And the number isn’t going to stop there. Why? Because more cattle raisers are.finding.out that they can put their calves on full feed the very first day. And with Purina Cattle Starters, there is no warm-up period. And founder is unlikely because of their high roughage con tent. There is no painstaking daily increase in grain. All you do when your cattle come in off the range or stalk field is let the calves fill up overnight with hay or other roughage. Then, fill your feeders with Cattle Starter I and let the cattle start eating. After a week, put them on Purina Cattle Starter 11. By the third week, they’ll be ready to go on a full feed of high energy finishing ration. Yes, your cattle will be on full feed right away. And, depend ing upon size, they may consume more than 20 pounds of feed per day. See us about Purina Cattle Starters before you put your next cattle on feed. You’ll be amazed at the results.
