Testimonials

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.

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

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 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

We have been using ShowDay Feeds for many years and have always been impressed with how our cattle have performed. The product is consistent and high quality every time you open a bag.

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

When Skylar Stiefvater needed help changing the shape of her Hereford Steer, Stanley, her mom, Carie, reached out to Form-A-Feed’s dealer Central Farmer’s Coop. With the help of Austin Langemeier, Skylar and her steer ended up winning Grand Champion Hereford Steer at the 2024 South Dakota State Fair.
Langemeier recommended the Show Day Show Feed products, Grand Finale and First N’ Goal to help maintain her steer’s weight while transforming his shape. In a matter of four weeks, the Hereford steer made a major transformation. Her steer’s rib shape, depth body and overall mass changed dramatically. Skylar and Carie noted that they didn’t change anything else with Stanley besides the switch to Form-A-Feed products.
“If you set out his mixed ration, Stanley will pick through his feed to find the First N’ Goal”
Skylar has always dreamed of having a Grand Champion Steer at the state fair, and it is easy to see the excitement in her eyes as she retells the story.

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