Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, performance loss or death
IMPORTANT:
MANAGEMENT TOOL NOTE: Placement of tubs can influence grazing distribution in large pasture situations. Place tubs in areas of under-utilization in order to entice animals to specific locations within a pasture.
INTRODUCTORY PERIOD: During the first week of use, place the tubs within 100 feet of the loafing and/or watering areas. As animals become accustomed to the presence of the tubs, some repositioning may be necessary. Move the tubs closer to increase consumption, farther away to decrease consumption.
DO NOT PROVIDE STARVED ANIMALS FREE ACCESS TO THIS SUPPLEMENT OR FEED IN DROUGHT CONDITIONS WHEN FORAGE IS NOT AVAILABLE.
IMPORTANT: Consumption rate depends on location of the tubs with respect to loafing, grazing, feeding and/or watering areas. Also consider animal condition, forage quality and quantity and seasonal weather conditions. If cattle have not been fed a self-fed supplement prior to feeding this product, and over- consumption (2 to 3 times target fed rate on tag) occurs for more than one week despite tub repositioning, remove the tubs and evaluate the overall feeding program.
TUB STORAGE GUIDELINES: Storing tubs at room temperature (70 degrees Fahrenheit) will help maintain consistent hardness. Do not double-stack after receiving. Rows of tubs must be separated by a divider and cannot be directly stacked due to cold flow properties.
