Beacon Golden Test Rations
C.A.F. The Cow Acceptability Factor
determines how much grain your cows
will eat. Beacon Golden Testmilking rations
are partially pelleted, contain a proven level
of crimped corn for extra palatability. Even
finicky eaters clean these feeds up well, re
sponding with higher milk production than
when fed less palatable feeds.
The Cow Acceptability Factor helps get
more grain into your cows in critical periods
of milk production. Call us today for Beacon
Golden Test Rations with C.A.F.
