DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MILK
YOUR COWS CAN REALLY GIVE?
A cow is a factory. She eats grass, hay, silage,
grain and Wayne Feeds. She makes milk. Each
cow-factory has a certain bred-in capacity. When
Bossy’s assembly line isn't running at full ca
pacity, she isn’t making as much money for you
as she should. ■ The way to find out if she’s
really running at full capacity is to put more
feed in and see if you get more milk out. FEED
HER ACCORDING TO WHAT SHE COULD GIVE
TOMORROW, instead of what she gave yester
day. ■ Wayne can show you how to balance these
larger feed intakes so that your cows can handle
them. You feed the rumen bacteria too, so they
can work harder and digest more roughage. ■ See
us now for the Wayne Program that will work for
you . . . choose from our quality Wayne Feeds
. . . Wayne supplements and complete feeds to
meet your needs ... do it today!
