Calving season is not only stressful and physically demanding for ranchers and hired hands but also stressful and nutritionally challenging to cows.

Countless factors tie into how successful breeding season is. But when you start digging deeper, you might find a common thread – numbers.

Profitability of cow-calf operations is largely determined by cow reproductive performance.

In the cattle business, there are few things as rewarding as getting weaned calves and newly arrived feeder cattle off to a good start. The first 30–45 days after weaning and/or commingling can set the tone for calves’ lifelong health, performance and profitability. Whether calves are destined to be herd replacements or feeder cattle, they should all be provided with feed that helps them build strong immune systems and grow at a pace that will enhance their production for their entire lives.

When it comes to setting your herd up for sustainable success, good nutrition truly has a domino effect.
