Rough-N-Ready Creep Feeding
Vincent Arnold, Delaware, ON - 70 Cows
With Rough 'N' Ready the cows come into the barn with
better conditioning on them. I also noticed a better
conception rate. on the calf side, they were heavier at
weaning and were ready to eat after they were weaned.

Cows
I like Rough 'N' Ready because it keeps the calves on
the right side of the fence, and they aren't walking the
fence line looking for food. Rough 'N' Ready also gives
the cows a break and I can wean sooner wtih heavier
calves.
Don McAllister, Chesley, ON - 45 Cows
I feel feeding Masterfeeds' Rough 'N' Ready pays. My
calves keep growing and cows stay in better condition
when the pastures start to dry up. My calves are easier
to wean and go right ahead with no set backs when they
enter my feedlot.
Ken Simpson, Lucan, ON - 80 Cows
I like Rough 'N' Ready because the calves weighed up
better than the year before despite the lack of pasture
this past summer.

Frieburger, Elmwood, ON - 500 Cows
We creep feed Masterfeeds' Rough 'N' Ready because it
pays! All our calves are finished in our own feedlot and
creep feeding gets our calves eating and gaining well
before they are weaned. This maximizes our genetics and
saves valuable days to market.
