Weather resistant

Wind and Rain® Mineral Tubs offer the ultimate in weather resistance. Packaged primarily in the 225 pound size, they resist the elements, not digestion.

Feed one tub per 25-30 head of cattle and at least 2 tubs per pasture to ensure adequate intake by younger, timid animals. Place the tubs within 100 feet of where animals congregate (loafing, grazing, feeding and watering areas) Feed tubs continuously along with plentiful sources of forage and fresh, clean water. Cattle will consume approximately 1/4 to 1/2 pound of this supplement per head daily. If additional mineral and vitamin fortification is needed provide a nutritionally balanced mineral/vitamin supplement containing salt. This product does not contain added salt; therefore supplemental salt should be offered at all times.

CAUTION:

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 nor death.

Follow label directions: Feeding added selenium at levels in excess of 0.3 ppm in total diet is prohibited.

IMPORTANT:

This product is to be fed only to the animal species as directed on this label. Follow these management practices:

1. 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.

2. Do NOT provide starved animals free access to this supplement.

3. 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, in addition to seasonal weather conditions.

4. If over-consumption occurs for more than two weeks despite tub repositioning, remove tubs and evaluate the overall feeding program.

USAGE TIPS:

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, further away to decrease consumption. DO NOT PROVIDE STARVED ANIMALS FREE ACCESS TO THIS SUPPLEMENT.

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. Consumption rate depends on location of the tubs with respect to loafing, grazing, feeding and/or watering areas.
