Beacon Phos-Min
Beacon Mineral ADE
Beacon Cal-Min
Beacon minerals are formulated by a man who really knows the
nutrient needs of a dairy cow—he's Bill Lashbrook, Beacon's
Director of Dairy Research. That's why you can rely on Beacon
minerals to effectively make up the deficiencies that exist in hay,
silage and other roughages—and achieve the proper calcium-phos
phorus ratio in your feeding program.
Equally important, you don't pay more money for exotic ingre
dients, high transportation cost, expensive promotion and sales
cost. With Beacon, your dollar gets you more mineral units than
you find in more publicized minerals.
You can't beat this combination of more value at less cost.
