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 the
first lactation continue to be high producers over a longer
milking life than average cows.
Purina* Heifer Chow* has been developed to help you grow
big heifers fast, conveniently and at low cost. 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
Heifer Chow per heifer per day if your legume forages are of
good quality. For best results, start your heifers on the Purina
heifer glowing program at sax months of age until 90 days before
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 Purina Heifer Growing
Program folder. It explains the program to follow for'fast
growing, early-freshening heifers at low cost.
