* Breeding performance - a mere 1/2% improvement in conception rates or one less day open after calving is all it takes to pay for the Vita Ferm advantage. You can expect to see these numbers multiplied many times over.

* Calf weight gain and conversion rates - at current calf prices, any amount above a 1.1% or 1.4% ADG increase in nursing calves or stockers (respectively) and you've made money using Vita Ferm. According to field demonstrations, 5% to 10% can be expected.

* Cow maintenance costs - expect better use of forages with substantial savings in supplement expenditures.

* Herd Health - will improve, resulting in reduced vet expenses and treatment costs.

Add it all up and expect a conservative estimate of 5 to 1 return on investment - or even higher

* A versatile line of free-choice vitamin/mineral supplements for year-round benefits

* Free-choice protein supplements in both loose and tub form to fortify low-quality forages

* Weaning/receiving pelleted supplements to fit any feeding program

* Concept-Aid - the ultimate mineral for the increased nutritional demands of intense breeding program.

* Sure Champ pellets for show calves - the "secret ingredient" for prize-winning show cattle rations
