“Our RHA is 22,900 and climbing fast
Currently we are averaging 81 Ibs/cow on
2X milking and we are still increasing.
When we started with Nutrena we needed
more production at a better cost and that is
exactly what we got. We have seen body
condition improve and we know this is
helping. Our Territory Manager, Robert
Davis, provides us with prompt and
dependable service and always follows
through. In addition to the success with our
cows, we have been very pleased with our
calves on the Herd Builder program. We
have cut weaning time down from eight to
four weeks and the calves are healthy.”
If you would like to leam more about Nutrena and the opportunity to improve your bottom line,
give us a call today.
