Starters the past 20 months!
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.

How To Handle A
Pushy Sales Call
Many telephone sales calls
give you news of products and
services and save you shopping
time or help you take advan
tage of a sale. But what should
you do about calls that turn
into high-pressure sales pitches
after misleading introductions?
Mabel Spray, Extension fam
ily economics specialist at Ohio
State University, says the first
thing to do as to learn to recog
nize questionable calls. She re
ports that the Better Business
Bureaus indicate that telephone
sales calls may be troublesome
when:
The caller gives no identifi
cation.
Claims to be conducting a
survey, then tries to arrange a
salesman’s interview.
Says he is not selling any
thing, but would like to inter-
