Facts-not “ch/n music”...
2,193 cattle furnish
“Built-In Roughage!! facts!
An average of 47 actual field demonstrations show the
kind of results the average feeder should expect on Purina’s
revolutionary “Built-in Roughage” Program with milo
and cottonseed hulls, barley or ground ear com.
Cattle (both heifers and steers) in these demonstrations were
fed an average of 123 days. They went into the feedlot at
an average weight of 593.3 lbs. and finished at an aver-
age of 935 lbs.
Their average daily gain for the period was 2.70 lbs. A
pound of beef was produced on only 7.99 lbs. of total feed.
These are facts—-not "chin music.”
Regardless of your feeding program—remember the sup-
plement holds the key! Others have tried to duplicate our
results—but only Purina Dealers have Special Steer Fatena,
designed especially for "Built-in Roughage” feeding.
Purina Special Steer Fatena is the original “Built-in
Roughage” supplement. Ask for it at our store with the
Checkerboard sign.
