Testimonials

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

- Ponderosa Custom Feedlot

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

- Holly Thompson

In warm weather, it’s a no brainer! It just makes good sense. Hydro-Lac is a tool that should be in everybody’s cattle feeding toolbox.

- Ron Nykamp

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.

- Jeff Ahrendt

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.

- David Schumacher

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.

- Stelling Land & Cattle

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

- Paul VanderWal, Dakota Country Feed & Seed

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

- Mark Giese & Vince Delmonico

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.
