Cow- Calf Corner: Missed Opportunites (cont'd)

3.If forage quality is low, Crystalyx VP40% or Crystalyx 12% Hi-Mag can be offered to provide the needed addition of extra rumen available protein. This will enable the rumen to better digest high fiber feedstuffs and create energy to feed the cow.

4.Pasture Program suggestions:

• Monitor Intake on a weekly basis to achieve recommended mineral intakes.
• Use loose salt mixed into the mineral to increase or decrease desired mineral intake or consider a premixed mineral/salt package for ease of intake and feeding
• Place weather proof mineral/salt feeders where cattle congregate to encourage a steady intake near feeding and watering areas.

Don’t miss the Opportunity to Avoid Costly Performance Shortages. Put a Masterfeeds Mineral Program into Place.
