This did not happen over night or even in 60 days. This is over a care of their dry cows, their calves, and heifers helps to get the
period of four years, and the future even looks brighter than the past inherited production from the cows,
because of the way the 2 year olds and 3 year olds are peaking and
holding production.
Yes, it is nice to have cows peak at 80 lb. to 100 lb. or over, but of
more importance is how these cows are milking 5 and 6 months into Agri-King has been pleased to work with Marbet Farms for the past
their lactation. Yes, Marbet Farms feeds a lot of Super Microan ounce <our y« ars - Without their good management and desire to get the job
of prevention is worth a pound of cure. They know that taking good done r *ght, these results would not have been possible.

The secret in profit is not in getting bigger but in getting better with
what you have and getting the most out of your home grown feeds.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday. March 12,1977—/
Before starting Agri-King the
grain cost was (1.59 per cow per day,
hay was 40 cents, and silage was 60
cents. For a 50 lb. producer the
total feed cost was (2.59 per day. On
Agri-King it costs $1.31 fjor grain, 56
cents for nay and 60 cents for silage.
Total feed cost for that same 50 lb.
producer is $2.47. (all figures were
done on current prices) It costs less
to feed her right than it does to feed
by guessing, because now she can
utilize more of the home grown
feeds. This is what makes the dif
ference - getting the most out of
what you have and only buying what
you need.
