HERE ’S BETTER FEEDING!
PROGRAMMED BEEF
This system will give your cattle the exact
balance between feed and forage for best
growth. To help you feed better ... you can
choose Red Rose Beef Supplement, Brood Cow
Cubes, 20 percent Cattle Cubes, or Beef Pellets
There is no doubt about it these feeds will
raise steers easier and earlier. Naturally, the
result is more money from your steers.
We’re anxious to explain Red Rose
Programmed Beef to you. Won’t you call us?
Don’t wait another day!
