Figure it for yourself.
When you shortchange their
nutrition, you shortchange yourself.
Looking for ways to cut on down on out-of-pocket
feed costs without cutting down on milk production?
Cutting production costs will backfire if you end
up shortchanging your herd’s nutrition in the
process.
But you can cut those costs safely by feeding
homegrown grains and gram silage fortified with
the right Vigortone Dairy Pre-Mix. These potent
pre-mixes contain the proper levels of vitamins,
calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals needed to
balance your farm’s feedstuffs.
Vigortone Dairy Pre-Mixes can be mixed in or
metered on any palatable grain or roughage. This
lets you change ration content to fit the supplies you
have on hand without risking herd performance.
Better herd nutrition means a bigger milk check.
Minimum out-of-pocket feed costs mean more in
your pocket.

Dry cow nutrition
pays future profits.
Shortchanging your dry cow’s nutrition can be risky
too. Most problems dairymen experience in getting
cows back m the string can be traced to careless
treatment during the dry period.
Keep them in top condition until their next lac
tation. To help you do it, Vigortone has developed
unique dairy pre-mixes specially concentrated for
dry cow rations.
Now is the time to compare.
See your Vigortone dealer soon. He’s ready to
