They're the most industrious birds you could imagine. Active birds are healthy birds. Not only do your birds get good exercise on range, but they get the advantages of sunlight and fresh air, to help them keep in the best of condition, and able to maintain their resistance against the many ills to which they are subject. Of Course,., good range can't supply all the feeding needs of your flock. They need a source of high-quality animal proteins, to balance the proteins in their green feed. They need a good source of minerals, and extra vitamins also. They get all these, in a feed that is exactly balanced against their requirements, when you give them SHUR-GAIN RANGE MASH. SHUR-GAIN RANGE MASH is designed to supplement the feed growing flocks receive from very good pasture. It's low in proteins, to give the greatest degree of economy, yet keep your birds in top condition and gaining steadily in body weight and fleshing. You can raise your young birds the low-cost sure-profit way, by giving them SHUR-GAIN RANGE MASH, while keeping them out on good, leafy pasture.
