SOMETIMES
SOMETHING TODAY,
MAKES IT MORE I VALUABLE i TOMORROW.
Take cattle supplements. Some cattlemen are guilty of
waiting too long to supplement their cattle. They wait
until their pastures are gone or cattle begin to lose
body condition. The simple truth is it’s more expensive
to feed cattle to gain weight back than it is to maintain
their body condition. Spending a little time and money
now can make a big difference in the calving and
breeding seasons. Enter PRO-LIX® liquid supplements
You know the name, but did you know that PRO-LIX
gives you the most nutrition for your dollar? Providing
your herd with proven performance and you a labor
saving feeding solution. PRO-LIX liquid supplements
