Description
We can breed for efficiency, but that doesn’t make your cows efficient… they can only work with the resources that are available.  Ted Perry, Director of Beef Technical Services with Purina joins us as we discuss the value of a mineral program in the nutrition of our cows that allows them to be efficient with the resources they have; whether that’s their feed, their environment, or their genetics.  Should a mineral program be seasonal or annual and why?  And the three “Abilities” of a mineral, those being Palatability, Bio-Availability, and Weatherability. #workingranchmagazine #workingranchnation #justinmills.wyocowboy #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #tanktoad #gelbvieh #vitalix #PerformanceBeef #LIP #vitalix #effeciency #purina #mineralprogram
