Weekly Cattle 51
Compared with the
previous week’s close:
Through midweek, prices on
slaughter steers were 1.50-
2.25 higher than previous
Wednesday, some closing
sales 2.50-2.75 up. Heifers
were 1.50-2.00 higher, both
classes under good demand
throughout the trading
period. Cows were 1.00-1.50
higher and bulls firm.
Four day receipts 16,100 as
compared 12,600 a week ago
and 18,800 a year ago. The
fed cattle trade marked up
the sharpest one week price
upturn since mid-October
1976 in four successive days
of advancing prices. For the
first time since early
January, steer prices rose

n
Silo-King is a roughage preservative that contains a
combination of refined enzymes, preservatives, an
tioxidants and other agents.
The antioxidants stabilize the simple sugars,
vitamins and other nutrients. They prevent oxygen
trapped in the silage from burning these nutrients
which in turn causes the silage to heat and juice. The
more severe the heating and/or juicing, the greater the
loss of digestible protein, energy and other nutrients.
While the antioxidants are doing their work, the
enzymes start breaking down simple (sugars and
starches) and complex carbohydrates (fiber) creating
a very rich environment for lactic acid producing
bacteria to reproduce. This speeds up the silage fer
mentation process and results in bringing the acidity
(PH) of the silage down to a desireable PH of 4 or
below quite rapidly.
Because of the rapid action of the enzymes it is
possible to create this rich environment for the bac
teria. As a matter of fact, that is what enzymes do:
accelerate the transformation of carbohydrates to
lactic acid. Higher levels of lactic acid also represents
a higher concentration of energy in the silage.

above the 40.00 mark; Most
interests came into the week
without large Inventories on
hand following the Easter
observance and .were in need
of cattle ior immediate
requirements, and the ad
vance in live prices was
supported by sharply higher
carcass quotatios at mid
week. Also, for the first time
in several months there was
a fairly aggressive demand
for fleshy two-way feeder
cattle as futures prices
escalated sufficiently to
encourage profitable
hedging. Near 1000 head two
way cattle went out for
further finishing. Slaughter
steers made up ap
proximately 35, heifers 33,
cows 12, and feeders' 19, most
of these for Friday’s auction*.

AGRI-KING
KEY TO PROFIT
Only anaerobic bacteria (live without air) can
produce lactic acid fast enough to reduce the PH of the
silage in the shortest possible time.
Aerobic bacteria (lives only in the presence of air)
utilize oxygen to burn carbohydrates and protein,
transforming them into carbon dioxide, ammonia and
water. This results in the production of high levels of
butyric acid which causes silage to be rancid, have a
loud unpleasant smell and be unpalatable. The water
released contributes to silo juicing.
Why not add only anerobic bacteria to the silage
instead of enzymes? That would be like buying cows
and having no feed for them. They would simply die.
Why? Because you are filling the silo with material
that has been exposed to air and more air is trapped in
the silo at filling time regardless of the type of storage.
Therefore, the predominant bug in the silo at first is
aerobic bacteria.
Even if you add tons of lactic acid producing bac
teria, they cannot work efficiently in file presence of
air, so they become inactive until most of the oxygen is
used up. By this time most of the damage has already
been done with resulting loss of energy, digestible
protein and other nutrients. Palatability is also reduced
which can severely effect animal performance due to a
lower feed intake.
Silo-King antioxidants and preservatives make it
very difficult for the undesireable aerobic bug to find
anything to eat, and you know what happens when you
don’t eat. At the same time enzymes are making food
available for the good bug enabling him to reproduce
rapidly, speed up the entire fermentation process
resulting in the highest quality silage possible.
Only Silo-King contains this secret formula of refined
enzymes (not crude enzyme by-products) preser
vatives and antioxidants.
You wouldn’t think of planting corn without using a
weed killer. Neither should you think of making silage
without using Silo-King.
