Why choose range feed?

After weaning and as pastures and feed sources dry up for the winter, cows need an easy nutrition option. Range feed fits the bill.

Often called cube or cake, these highly digestible pellets come in 3/4 inch or 5/8 inch sizes. They are available with different protein levels to help supplement forages being fed and are fortified with trace minerals and vitamins for improved health. They can help cattle producers extend available forage while enhancing rumen fermentation and reproductive performance.

Benefits

  • Manufactured as 3/4 inch or 5/8 inch pellets
  • Improved health and reproductive performance
  • Maintain and improve body condition
  • Contains highly digestible fiber to enhance rumen fermentation and improve forage utilization in contrast to high-starch supplements
  • Fortified with protein, energy, vitamins and minerals necessary to supplement nutrients supplied by forage
