Feed Newsletter
Creep feed season is just around the corner. Area pastures will be maturing and the grass will become less palatable and in reduced supply. Calves will consume milk, creep feed and grass, in that order. That is why creep feeding your calves will stretch your grass, leaving more for your cows. Creep feeding is recommended 60-90 days prior to weaning, consider accuration for longer feeding periods. Each additional pound of gain is certain to pay needed dividends.
Consumers Oil Company offers several creep feeder programs which include rental, rent to own or a full purchase option; if you want to utilize any of these programs we encourage you to do so at your earliest convenience as these are on a first come first served basis. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss these programs with you and provide a recommendation on what best fits your needs and performance goals.
Your spring calving cows are currently in a stage of production that requires additional mineral supplementation. During pre-calving, a cow’s requirement for phosphorus increases and is high throughout the breeding cycle. Calcium is required in high amounts as the cow progresses through her lactation stage. Calcium, along with magnesium supplements help to prevent grass tetany as we approach the early grazing season. Additional minerals and vitamins are critical for high fertility, fetal development and essential for the immune system. The roles these minerals play are essential for optimum productive performance. Spring mag, breeder, and fly control mineral are offered in a loose mineral or cooked molasses tubs. We are currently offering discounted pricing on minerals through the end of July while supplies last.
We appreciate all the hard work you, as producers, put in every day! Thank you for your continued business with Consumers Oil Company.
