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 . . .
