How Do You Feed
Your Stock?

Do they get all the feed
you give them or is a great
deal of it wasted?
Do the stronger animals
prevent the weaker ones.
from getting their share? Is
there crowding and scrapping
at feed time?
Is it a big chore for you to
feed your stock or have you
a feed rack which makes the
work easy and largely auto
matte?
"A feed rack saves feed and
therefore it saves your profits.
1t assures every animal its
rightful share. 1t protects
the weaker animals from the
stronger and prevents injury
from crowding and pushing.
1t doesn't take much lum-
Der or much labor to make a
good feed rack that will
quickly pay you back in the
feed it saves.
I Tell US how many head
and what stock you feed and
