Are your
beef cattle
programmed
There is a program that will give your cattle the
exact balance between feed and forage for maximum
growth and profit. Whether yours is a cow-calf opera
tion, or you’re finishing cattle for market, Red Rose’s
unique new service can take the guesswork out of your
feeding operation.
You tell us about your herd. The breed. Average
weight. The gam per head you want to achieve. What
forage you’re feeding and how much. Give us these
facts and we’ll analyze your herd and tell you how
you can obtain the most efficient, profitable opera
tion possible.
Your present feeding program may be the best
possible one for your herd. But, if you’re not abso
lutely sure, let us compute it the Red Rose way. This
scientifically formulated analysis is free.
