If your livestock could talk—they'd be asking you for fresh feed! They don't relish stale feed anyt more than you do. So why give it to them? Make absolutely sure the feed you give them is fresh by, getting it from your nearby SHUR-GAIN FEED' SERVICE MILL. Why are SHUR-GAIN feeds fresh? They are manufactured at frequent intervalA —only as needed. There is no storage, resulting int stale feeds. And this fact is very important because feeds lose feeding value when they become stale through storage. Does ii cost more for this freshness? Definitely not! SHUR-GAIN feeds are manufactured locally and for that reason they cost less. Extra transportation charges and middlemen' profits are eliminated and this stows up in the price of the feed. Feed the SHUR-GAIN way! Since SHUR-GAIN feeds are always fresh —since they are so handy to your farm—and since they cost less—surely they are logical feeds for all your livestock. Depend upon them to help you; produce better stock that will be worth more money to you. See us about all your feeding requirements! I Clinton Feed Mill PHONE 580 Rev. Goo.
