Get Ready for Fall: Mineral, Feed & Herd Health Tips

Aug 25, 2025


Fall is right around the corner, and harvest will be here before we know it. As you prepare for a busy season, now is the time to make sure your herd is ready, too.

Calf Weaning & Stress Management

If you have calves on creep feed, you’re already ahead. When it’s time to wean, reducing stress is key to keeping calves healthy and growing. We recommend:

  • Stress Tubs – Encourage licking, stimulate rumen function, and help calves transition to dry feed.

  • Stress Feeds – Available as complete feeds or as supplements to add to grain mixes or TMRs.

Mineral Needs for Fall & Winter

Minerals play a big role in herd health, especially heading into the colder months. Contact your local SFG feed location or feed sales representative to:

  • Book your Kent Minerals and SFG Minerals for fall

  • Get recommendations for September through winter mineral needs

We’ve got the tubs you need for fall—whether it’s for beef cows or cows headed to corn stalks.

Don’t Forget Deworming

As cows come off pasture, use Safe-Guard to protect their health and keep them in top condition through next spring.

Now is the time to plan ahead. Contact us today for fall feed and mineral bookings, and let’s make this season a success!
