Testimonials

“After we switched to Tend-R-Leen, our cattle have been averaging 4 lbs rate of gain a day where before it was around 2.5 lbs a day. Some cattle were even up to 5 lbs a day. We’re very excited. It was like getting back on the saddle again.”

Steve values the importance of rate of gain to his operation. “It’s the only number that counts. Your feed helps us a lot to achieve those goals. We were not supposed to finish a group of cattle until October, but we were able to finish them in August due to the increased rate of gain. The cattle grew quick.”

Logan also explained that the cattle seem healthier on Tend-R-Leen and the Tend-R-Leen pellets are much better quality with much less fines than the previous pellet they had been using.

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!

Hydro-Lac reduces my shrink, keeps cattle on feed and eating.

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.

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.

I have been raising steers for more than 25 years and have always been on the Tend-R-Leen program. It works well for me with the whole shell corn and protein pellet in my set-up. The results are really good. I’m extremely happy with the results.

- Joe Wollak

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

I always weigh my cattle locally before shipping. I have experienced shrink as low as 1% on a 160-mile haul to Dakota City, Nebraska when using the Hydro-Lac program. I have used Hydro-Lac on all my cattle I ship for the last eight years.

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