Cattle do well on Hydro-Flexx. The added weight is visible on the animals.

Stealth 5 in tubs helps start calves easier and healthier with less stress. Stress Lic helped with the rate of gain and health of the calf.

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.

After 1 year of feeding the Form-A-Feed beef program, Corey Groetch is “sold on it”. He started his pregnant beef cows on the Encompass Mineral lic tubs and Stalkbuster tubs while feeding a lot of corn stalk bales and their body conditioning remained strong throughout the winter. After calving, the calves turned around very quickly and he cut his death loss by a big percentage from the previous year. He started the calves on Tend-R-Leen 525 after weaning, and his animals really blocked up. So much so, that Corey’s calf buyer started inquiring about the program he was on and the products he was feeding because they were noticeably better than other calves he was seeing in the market. Other products that Corey feeds in his program are the PowerPro Encompass Mineral, Respire lic tubs, and Tend-R-Leen 529.

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.

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

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

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!

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.
