This feed is designed for show cattle under 900 pounds, but may be fed to cattle of any age or weight with proper management.

3. Do not allow fine material to accumulate in feeders.
4. Provide adequate, well-protected and well-managed bunk space for each animal to prevent feed from becoming wet and moldy.
5. When fed from a self-feeder, adjust feederto minimize quantity of feed accumulating in trough.

In groups of cattle, there are certain animals that experience chronic bloat or other digestive disturbances, and consequently are poor performers.
In addition, excess feed consumption, severe weather changes resulting in erratic feed consumption and poorly-managed feeding practices can increase the incidence of bloat in all cattle. If bloating does occur, the above management practices should be reviewed.
