FOR HIGH QUALITY FORAGE
Getting the most nutrients out of your
forage crops is your best way to save
feed bills. Along with your good manage
ment, Beacon Pre-Serv gives you an edge
on the weather so you
can harvest and store
better forage. Beacon Hay
Pre-Serv* lets you bale
hay at 25% moisture.
That's a big help in rainy
weather, because it can
save you a day's waiting
time and avoid loss of
nutrients from wet hay.
By treating hay with
Beacon Hay Pre-Serv you
reduce oxidation and retain more leaves
and stems. The result: 10% more digest
ible nutrients. Up to 10% more protein.

Nearly 10% more income per ton of hay.
Beacon Silage Pre-Serv* helps keep haylage
and grass silage fresh and sweet. Tests have
shown that, in storage, Pre-Serv gives 7%
more protein retention,
increases lactic acid
production 53%.
Pre-Serv products are a
combination of natural
acids, anti oxidants and
selected flavors. They
help to maintain forage
quality, so you will get
greater palatability from
your hay and silage—and
that's another reason you
get less waste, more profit.
Use them both this year, and get more
nutrients from your forages.

Four day receipts 13,200 as
compared 19,600 previous
week and 11,700 a year ago.
Fed cattle prices advanced
rather sharply following the
fourth of July holiday, but a
part of the early upturn was
lost at midweek in a slow,
deliberate trading session as
most interests acquired
sufficient numbers for im
mediate requirements.
However, this marked the
third successive week of
uptrending prices and
closing levels were the third
successive week of up
trending prices and closing
levels were the highest since
mid-May. Continued searing
heat dictated care in the
movement of livestock and
much of the supply arrived
during the early morning
hours. The steer crop in
cluded a fair percentage
choice, but there was also
some increase in the volume
of Good and low-Choice 975-
1050 lbs; much of the
diminishing heifer supply
was of the good to average
choice vaiety. Slaughter
steers made up ap
proximately 52 and heifers
