For good production next lactation,
FEED PURINA
DAIRY CONDITIONER
As a dairyman, you know that good milk production
doesn’t just happen. It’s something you plan for by
establishing a herd with the genetic potential for good
production, then managing and feeding your cows so
they’ll produce up to their bred-in ability.
Many successful local dairymen also plan for good pro
duction with a proven program of dry cow feeding.
.They need Purina Dairy Conditioner, a research
proven ration to help give dry cows body condition
they need for good production after they freshen.
Purina Dairy Conditioner is an extra-palatable 12%
percent protein ration. It’s fortified with vitamins A
and D plus extra phosphorus to help guard against milk
fever.
Purina Dairy Conditioner is low-cost, too, because the
amounts you feed depend on your cows’ condition and
on the quality of the roughages you feed. For example,
a cow dried off in good condition being fed high-quality
roughages would require less Dairy Conditioner than
a cow in only fair condition being fed fair quality
roughages.
Drop in soon and get your free copy of the
Purina Dry Cow Program folder. We’ll be glad
to show you how Purina Dairy Conditioner can
help you prepare your dry cows for good pro
duction next lactation.

Thursday, October 28
Compared last weeks close -
slaughter steers 25-50 c higher
with many Choice and Prime at
full advance at midweek Heifers
50c higher, instances 75c higher.
Cows fully 50c lower, Bulls firm
to 50c higher. Feeder cattle and
calves steady.
Marketings of moderate
proportions and well distributed
over trading period Upturns in
live prices solidly supported by
higher trend early on carcass
beef at wholesale level. Trading
fairly active despite non
slaughter holiday in some plants
Monday and most buying in
terests competed aggressively
for numbers, although late
demand narrowed somewhat,
and ratio between current live
prices and carcass realizations
generally not considered
favorable. Overall finish fairly
attractive with liberal per
centage choice and moderate
475-715 lb. 30.50-31.50; few Good
500-750 lb. 28 50-30.25.
