How to bring cubes up to freshening
size six months earlier...
Heifers raised on the
Agway Herd Replacement Pi
reach freshening size 1

MONTH
and earn higher profits doing il
The faster you bring your heifers into the milk
ing string, the faster you start earning profits.
And that s exactly what you can do with the
Agway Herd Replacement Program. Here’s how:
Agway Milk Replacer
saves saleable milk and dollars
Start your calves off early on Agway White,
Blue or Red Label Milk Replacer. Dollar for dol
lar and pound for pound it’s more economical to
feed Agway Milk Replacer than to feed the sale
able milk in your tank. So it makes sense to
sell the milk and raise your calves on Agway
Milk Replacer.
Plus Agway Milk Replacers help keep calves
healthy. They’re fortified with all the vitamins the
calf needs, plus antibiotics. And each has ample
protein for faster growth.

Feed Agway Total Calf Ration (TCR)
for faster growth and earlier freshening
At five days, start your calves off on a fast
weight gain program with TCR I. TCR I is an all
pelleted complete feed designed for self-feeding
with no additional forage needed. At 300 pounds
offer hay free choice or switch to TCR 11.
In Agway research trials, calves raised on TCR
gained 1.93 pounds per day, and reached breed
ing size in 14 months. That kind of growth means
forage savings, reduced labor and earlier fresh
ening (24 months).
Start managing your herd replacements for
faster growth and higher profits with the Agway
Herd Replacement Program. For more informa
tion on Agway Milk Replacers and TCR, contact
your Agway Store, Representative or Enterprise
Salesperson.
