Cattle fill out very nicely before we market them. I’ve used Hydro-Lac for eight years. We feed one pound per head daily for two consecutive days before we market our cattle. After further discussion with my Form-A-Feed representative, I will consider using Hydro-Lac during times of heat stress too.

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.

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!

While using CUE II, we have seen significant improvement with grade and yield, and use 25% less corn to finish the cattle.

I saw the improvement and added pounds when I fed Hydro-Flexx. Improved the economics of cattle. I use it when needed to help improve my cattle and I have seen results!

Form-A-Lic Respire Tubs are a definite must during changes in weather.

“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.

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.”

We started using the Tend-R-Leen 525 NBC product last year on our calves on pasture to make up a creep feed using our corn out of the bin so there wasn’t so much out-of-pocket expense.  We mixed it ourselves and used our seed tender to deliver it to creep feeders on pasture. We feel the Rumensin® in the pellet kept the coccidiosis and bloat problems under control and the consumption stayed steady.  The calves seemed to wean easier than the past because they knew what corn was and went right to the corn silage. The calves didn’t show any more flesh than when we used a conventional creep.
