Feeding Directions

Description

Feed as the sole ration to finishing cattle. This feed is designed for show cattle over 900 pounds, but may be fed to cattle of any age or weight with proper management. Finishing cattle should eat approximately 2.5-3% and should be fed 2 pounds of hay per head per day.

Frame, genetics and management will determine finishing period.

Caution

Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, performance loss or death.

Important

 This product is to be fed only to the animal species as directed on the label.

Winning Matrix

Efficient production requires a thorough understanding and application of the fundamental principles of good husbandry and sanitation. The Purina Winning Philosophy program will help you step into the spotlight.

1.GOOD BREEDING: Practice a sound genetic program of selection and culling. Visit a professional breeder for more information. Know the feeling when you have that perfect animal that has the best potential to win.

2.GOOD FEEDING: Proper nutrition for different needs and lifestyles starts with Honor® Show products. Feed at regular times at least two times daily, with three daily feedings preferred. You can’t become a Grand Champion without the best nutrition.

3.SOUND MANAGEMENT: A clean environment minimizes stress and can improve average daily gains. Clean stalls,remove debris and provide fresh water daily. The daily attention to detail is the difference between a Grand Champion and lower placement.

4.PREVENTIVE HEALTH: Establish an effective health program with your local veterinarian. A sick animal never makes it to the top.

These are the building blocks of the Honor® Show program and the keys to successful production. Practical application of these basic principles will not only enhance your animal’s growth and development, but also increase its potential of winning on the show circuit.

Management Practices

1. When making a ration change, allow 7-10 days for animals to adjust to the new ration.

2. Provide a source of fresh, clean water at all times.

3. Do not allow fine material to accumulate in feeders.

4. Provide adequate, well-protected and well-managed bunk space for each animal to prevent feed from becoming wet and moldy.

5. When fed from a self-feeder, adjust feeder to minimize quantity of feed accumulating in trough.

6. Cattle should be vaccinated against enterotoxemia.

7. Consult your veterinarian for the recommended health program for your local area. This includes internal and external parasite control.

8. Provide plain salt and Purina Wind & Rain® All Season mineral free choice.

In groups of cattle, there are certain animals that experience chronic bloat or other digestive disturbances, and consequently are poor performers. In addition, excess feed consumption, severe weather changes resulting in erratic feed consumption and poorly-managed feeding practices can increase the incidence of bloat in all cattle. If bloating does occur, the above management practices should be reviewed.
