DOES YOUR HERD NEED SUPPLEMENTAL
METHIONINE?
Most high producing cows need more methionine than their
normal diet provides. Red Rose Dairy Booster Pellets with
Methionine-Analog provides this needed methionine.
BOOSTER PELLETS is a new feed formulated to be used as a
“top dress” feed (about 2% lbs. per cow per day—in two
feedings—for an intake of 25 grams of M-Analog). Or, Dairy
Booster Pellets can be used in mixes with home grains. These
pellets (17 per cent protein) are very palatable, easily fed and
can be used in milking parlors, bunk feeding, and bulk feeding.
Trial feed Red Rose Dairy
Booster Pellets with
Methionine-Analog to your
dairy herd and you’ll see an
improvement in milk
production Try them . .
and you’ll always feed
them

NATIONAL EGG MARKET
AT A GLANCE
Prices are lower in most parts
of the country. Supplies are
ample and tending to buildup
above current requirements with
heaviest increases occurring in
the middle and north atlantic
sections Demand in major
metropolitan centers is no better
than fair and some backups are
developing at retail levels of
distribution. Diversions into
breaking channels is picking up
slowly. Off farm movement of
older aged fowl is heavy in the
southeast
NORTH ATLANTIC: Prices
declined in New England
yesterday and trended lower
today in other areas. Demand
light at all levels. Jumbos and
smalls spotty but sufficient
overall. Medium ample, extra
large and large frequently
burdensome as floor stocks
buildup due to declining retail
orders. Producers and packers in
all sections are free sellers in an
effort to reduce inventories
immediately. Undertone remains
very nervous.
