My treatment pulls have been minimal since using Stress Lic tubs.

Hydro-Flexx makes a big difference. I’ve noticed dramatic changes with our live weight. We’re getting about 0.5% higher dressing percentage. Cull cows also dress higher when fed Hydro-Flexx. Heifers used to ship 1350-1425 lbs., but with Hydro-Flexx ship at 1425-1500 lbs.

Using Hydro-Lac reduced my shrink from 10% to around 3% on shipping heifers.

Due to an unexpected life event, Steve Howe was forced to make a change on his farm with his cattle diets. He was previously grinding feed with DDG’s which was very labor intensive. He reached out to Form-A-Feed looking for a lic tub to replace the nutrition his longhorn herd was needing. He started his herd on the Form- A-Lic StalkBuster tubs. Conditioning of the herd held through the winter. When his newborn longhorn calves started arriving, they were alert and up and doing well within minutes. This was noticably different behavior from the previous diet he was feeding. Using the Form-A-Lic Stalkbuster tub was less stressful, less labor intensive, and cheaper for Steve.
“No doubt about it, we’ll stick with the tubs.”

Trent Thoennes is on his third year of feeding Form-A-Feed products to his small beef herd. Two specific products Trent has had luck with are the Encompass Mineral Lic with DE-G and Tend-R-Leen 525. Trent said since he has started on the Encompass Mineral Lic 2 or 3 years ago, he has not had any issues with pink eye in his herd. Since he has started using Tend-R-Leen 525, his calves are weaning better and they are finishing faster and blocking up quicker at a younger age. Trent says, “It’s been pretty awesome” since he has switched.

Stress Lic tubs with Stealth 5 improved my calves. I can see the difference in calves that are on it vs. the ones that aren’t!

Joe & Alan Henning have seen great results with adding Hydro-Lic to their feed lot. With a consumption rate of ½ pound per head for 4 days prior to shipping, they saw a strong reduction in shrink, better yield and increase in grade. Two loads of Holstein steers were shipped out in August 2024. See chart below for details. On August 29, 2024, Joe and Alan shipped out a group of Holstein steers that had 16.41% Prime Grade and 83.59% Choice Grade (no Select) after using the Hydro-Lic tub right before shipping. Comparatively, in September 2023, the Hennings sold a group of Holstein steers that had only 6.05% Prime Grade and 78% Choice, 10.85% Select, and 4.93% Standard.

I am a firm believer in Stealth 5 and so are my customers.

Metabolic issues have ceased since we started using Hydro-Lac in the fresh group. Hydro-Lac works and it will always be in the ration.
