 Quality
Cows are the backbone of any cattle operation. With the proper
nutrition your cow herd can get a higher conception rate and a shorter
calving season. The right diet, including the proper minerals,
vitamins, and micronutrients will save you from problems with breeding
and calving – helping your bottom line.
Who
wouldn’t want a few less open cows every year? A cow receiving the
proper balance of minerals will have stronger, more consistent heats,
and increase your conception rates.
 Having the right balance of calcium
and phosphorus in your cows' diet will stimulate ovarian activity
resulting in more visible, stronger heats, and also allow the duration
of your cows' heat cycles to be more consistent Balancing
the level of micronutrients that your cows intake will produce a
stronger, better quality egg and enhance conception. Having a good
balance is essential because bred cows make money, and open cows only
cost money.
Proper
body condition in your herd does a lot more than appeal to your eyes. A
cow that is in proper condition is more likely to get bred, more likely
to stave of disease, more likely to have a problem free calving and more
likely to raise a stronger, more profitable calf. A body condition
problem in your herd can’t always be solved by simply feeding more feed;
often the better and more economical solution is to adjust
 the mineral
ration that your cattle consume to achieve a proper balance, resulting
in a better efficiency of the feed they are consuming.
Different
diets require different solutions. The animal nutrition team at Co-op
Country Junction has developed a line of feeds custom-made for Alberta
ranchers; each with energy and nutrient levels to match the demands of
your cattle. Our line of feeds is designed to match the forages you are
feeding. Our “Range Buster” Cubes are specifically designed to
supplement low quality forages. If you are looking to maximize your
pasture and stubble fields using Range Buster Cubes is the
answer.  Infused with extra minerals and vitamins to get the most out of
a cow’s diet, they are easy to feed, convenient and cost effective. These cubes can be easily fed every few days in order to help digestion
and properly balance the mineral and nutrient levels your cattle
require.
You can’t
know where your herd is going unless you know where they are coming
from. That’s why in order to save time and money we should know what’s
going into our herds. What level of nutrients are they getting from
their water source? Are they drinking from a dugout or a well? Are all
of your cattle on similar pasture diets? What nutritional value are your
forages providing? Nutritional solutions can be found by speaking with
an animal nutrition team member at the Co-op Country Junction. To speak
