SHUR-GAIN FEEDLOT STARTER
MEDICATED —"THE SUCCESS
FEED THAT WON THE WEST".
Literally thousands of cattlemen have found
Shur -Gain Feedlot Starter an important factor
in safely getting feeder cattle quickly started
on full feed.
Close confinement of cattle in a feedlot brings
new problems. Stress from digestive upset and,
of course, gorging. Combat these problems, as
so many have done, by feeding Shur -Gain
Feedlot Starter Medicated full fed for the
first four days, then swing gradually into
Shur -Gain Beef Finishing Ration over the
next 12 days.
Shur -Gain Feedlot Starter Medicated can
help you get your feeders on full feed sooner
and reduce losses usually associated with
feeding changeover. See us about a bulk load
of feedlot starter.
