Typical Customer Rebuttal: <\/b><\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cOK, fine. I can afford a mineral program, but that
\nVitaFerm\u00ae<\/sup> stuff is just too expensive\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

While the study at Kansas State University estimates mineral costs at $36.50 per cow, per year, it is true that VitaFerm will be approximately $56.74 if using our top-of-the-line VitaFerm lines, Concept\u2022Aid\u00ae<\/sup> and Heat\u2122<\/sup>. That\u2019s $20 more per cow. Before you walk away, see the breakdown below so you can fully understand how you and\/or your customers can\u2019t afford to NOT feed VitaFerm mineral.<\/p>\n

What are More Weaned Pounds Worth?
\n<\/b>According to Reinaldo Cooke, PhD, Oregon State University, supplementing cows with organic trace minerals led to weaning weights of 519 lbs. vs 466 lbs. for the control (no supplementation but were not mineral deficient), giving the cows with organic trace mineral supplementation a 53 lb. or $74\/hd advantage, or a 28 lb. or $39\/hd advantage over the inorganics. VitaFerm uses Optimins\u00ae<\/sup> for organic trace minerals in all formulas.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s One More Calf Worth?
\n<\/b>A 2.5% increase in the calf crop (1 calf per 40 cows), at a 550 lb. weaning weight, would increase the average weight of the calves by 13.75 lbs., and at $1.40\/lb., would increase the average revenue per cow by $19.00.<\/p>\n
