More and more local dairymen are proving that a small extra
investment in heifer feeding can pay off when heifers freshen and
begin contributing to the milk check.
And research has proved that heifers which produce well in th«
first lactation continue to be high producers over a longer
milking life than average cows.
NEW Purina* Heifer Chow* has been developed to help you
grow big heifers fast, conveniently and at low cost. New Heifer
Chow is a palatable, coarse 14 per cent protein ration, fortified
with vitamins and minerals to stimulate fast, solid heifer growth.’
To build low-cost growth, you need feed only 3 pounds of New
Heifer Chow per heifer per day if your legume forages are of
good quality. For best results, start your heifers on the Purina
heifer growing program at six months of age until 90 days befora
freshening when they’ll be fed on the basis of their condition
and on the quality of your forage.
Drop in soon and pick up a copy of our New Purina Heifer
Growing Program folder. It explains the program to follow fof
fast-growing, early-freshening heifers at low cost.
