With Cargill you get complete nutrition management program - not just feed.
Noah B. .Sharp of Belleville, PA has seen the benefits of this process over the last year.
44T have been feeding Nutrena products from Cargill for a little over a year. I've seen
I improved body condition, better peaks and more persistency. By using the Nutri-
A Boost amino acid program I have been able to use other new technologies
available to dairy farmers. With the Herd Builder calf and heifer program we are raising
better replacements that grow faster and healthier. With the Catapult Dry and Fresh Cow
program our cows start'out the lactation better and peak higher. On test day, there have
been several cows over 130 lbs. and this happens to some cows 3or 4 months in a row.
Last August I had 10 cows out of 39 over 100 lbs. for the tester and another 5 over 90 lbs.
Much better than I expected in the heat."
More and more dairy operations throughout Pennsylvania, are realizing increased
production, better health, and more profit by using a total Nutrition Management Program
from Cargill. For more information call us.
