Testimonials

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

- Holly Thompson

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

- Al Roe

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

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

- Ahrendt Brothers

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

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.

- Joe & Alan Henning

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

- Ponderosa Custom Feedlot

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

We shipped 50 bulls from MN to Texas about 1,100 miles (18 hours) and fed Hydro-Lac four days prior to shipping at a ½ lb. rate.  The bulls, averaging 2,173 lbs. dressed out at 56-58%.  In comparison, we shipped two bulls only 100 miles (2 hours) with no Hydro-Lac, and they dressed out at 52%. We were impressed!
