OVER ELEVEN YEARS EXPERIENCE
TELLS THE STORY!!
Feed, whether you buy it or grow it, represents on outlay of 25 to 45% of your
milk check. Beacon's Free Roughage Analysis Service can help you lay the
foundation for an efficient and effective feeding program for your herd.
"Eyeball" analyses won't do the job. You need scientific sampling, high
quality laboratory analyses of the samples, and . . . most of all ... the
recommendations of skilled and practical dairy nutritionists on how to apply
these analyses to benefit your herd.
The Beacon Roughage Analysis Service will help you toward the three goals
all dairymen share: Higher Milk Production, Greater Income Over Feed Cost,
Improved Net Returns.
There is no charge for this very worthwhile service. The Beacon Advisor will
visit your farm, take samples of all your roughages. He'll send them to the
Beacon laboratory for analysis. You'll get back a report and feeding recom
mendations tailored specifically to your herd, it's production level and your
roughage supply.
