Joe Leathers, Ranch Manager at the 6666 Ranch

“With the VitaFerm® Concept•Aid® Protein Tubs, we have the ability to get a good mineral package in our cows. As the green grass comes, the cows pretty much quit the protein tubs, but as their calves get up to a certain size, I’ll see a lot of calves licking on those tubs. As the grass cures out and the cows aren’t getting quite what they need out of the grass, they will start hitting those tubs again. It’s just worked into a good program. It’s helped our calves get a little better bloom on them, and I also think it gets a good mineral package in those calves which helps them wean off healthier.”
