  rate of gain on pasture (1995)
• Kansas trial 4/10 lbs improved
  daily gain on pasture vs. mineral with Bovatec
• Oklahoma trial Matched or exceeded
  performance of 3.5 lbs of range cubes
• Kaf Starter in Kansas Starting calves cheaper,
  better gains (no reprocessing or death loss)
• Horses in Colorado Improved performance
  better feed efficiency (25 less forage / no
  grain needed)
• North Dakota heifers Better breed-back on 1st
  calf heifers in ND. Opens dropped from 25
  to under 2
• Saskatchewan calves Higher weaning weights
• Testimonials Other consistent themes include
• Marked reduction in forage consumption
• Improved clean-up at calving
• Improved first service conception rates
• Strong calves
• Few, if any sore eyes and much reduced foot rot
