Spring Mineral Planning

Cattle futures and feeder cattle futures keep going up. Cash prices for fat cattle are strong and continue rising. Feedlots are having trouble getting cattle, but consumer demand for beef remains high. For producers, record prices mean profits are strong no matter what you sell or buy. It looks like farmers could see another two years of good returns. Who would have thought this good run could last this long? It’s real and it’s happening.

With fly season approaching, it’s important to get cows started on fly control minerals. Clarify handles all major flies, IGR targets horn flies, and garlic can help with tick control. We have minerals with these fly options or can provide what you need. You can also add garlic to the mineral you already have. Remember, flies and ticks carry disease.

For those feeding mineral tubs, we have options with IGR. Check our specials section on the website for details. We are also booking creep pelleted feeds with 16% protein and Bovatec. This helps calves gain extra pounds and reduces stress on the mother cow, especially if pastures turn dry.

Our SFG minerals are available for fescue or non-fescue pastures. They are consistent on daily intakes and priced right. Contact us about a SFG mineral program for your operation.
