For better daily gains
at lower costs
Feed Bovotone 21
Higher feed costs and unstable market
prices make it more important than ever
for cattlemen to keep the cost of gain
down. One sure way is to feed your own
alfalfa haylage and Bovotone 21 from
Vigortone.
Bovotone 21, in addition to delivering
proper levels of important major
minerals, trace elements and vitamins,
contains abundant phosphorus to balance
off the high calcium content of legume
roughages.
Seldom will you need to feed any sup
plemental protein with a corn, haylage
and Bovotone 21 program. Your cattle
will do better, and your out-of-pocket
costs will be cut dramatically.

which produces a quieter bunch of
heifers and promotes better daily gains.
