    HERE'S WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
Bedford Dairy Herd Increases
14 lbs. of Milk on AminoTek...
Through Summer Heat Wave!!!
The Grubb’s were excited when their herd responded to AminoTek
with a 17 lb. milk increase this spring. But when their herd responded
with another 14 lb. increase when they started to feed an AminoTek
based top dress...and during the hottest June on record, they couldn’t
believe it.
On their July 6 DHIA test, they had 21 of their 38 cows milking over
70 lbs.. Six were over 110 lbs., three over 120 lbs. and one was over
130 lbs..
Ray Grubb and his herdsman, Wendell Guyer, say that “The Master
Mix AminoTek feed program has given us a great economical answer
to some problems we were having. We have seen a terrific response
in milk production, along with improved breeding and overall herd
health.
We also appreciate the thorough service we get from Gene
Barefoot, our Master Mix District Sales Manager for Bedford and Blair
Counties. He works very close with us and we're really pleased."

AminoTek Helps Rolling Herd
Average Increase 5,000
Pounds In 3 Years
"After 3 years on AminoTek, our herd average has gone from 16,000
lbs. milk to 18,000 lbs. milk to over 21,000 lbs. milk. Our tank average
has stayed over 80 lbs., for over 3 months with no BST! This spring
we had one cow peak at 149 lbs., milk!
I’m well pleased with the Dry Cow Program and the PreLact Pellets.
Our herd health and reproduction have gotten alot better since
switching from a previous mineral program. ”
