PERFORMANCE SHOW-ME We started feeding Performance Show-Me on the show cattle at RuAnn Genetics one year ago and are thrilled with the results! Since feeding Show-Me we have noticed increases in aggressiveness at the feed bunk, feed consumption, and fertility. After a week to ten days, the cattle become far more aggressive and, as a result, eat more hay and put on more rib at a faster rate. We have also noticed that by keeping the rumen healthy, we are able to feed a higher level of protein to our show heifers than other people in the industry with similar feeding programs, thus allowing our heifers to grow at a faster rate. The other benefit we have seen is an increase in fertility. Since feeding Show-Me, the vast majority of our show cows settle on the first service, and previous hard breeders have gotten bred back more quickly. We have worked with other probiotics in the past and would recommend nothing else! ~ Graisson Schmidt

“We are stuck on Udder Comfort.” — Callum McKinven

LOOKOUT HOLSTEINS AND JERSEYS, CANTON, DE HATLEY, QUEBEC 120 head, 34 milk cows, 13 EX, 21 VG Callum McKinven and Katherine Beerwort and daughters Tara (not pictured), Brooke and Alana (left) with Garay Awesome Beauty, her first place spring heifer calf at the 2016 World Dairy Expo

“For 6 years we have been using Udder Comfort™. We are stuck on it, seeing a difference within one hour of use. Over 90% of our fresh animals get it after each milking for the first week,” says Callum McKinven. He grew up with Jerseys, his wife Katherine Beerwort grew up with Holsteins. Dairy is in their blood. Together from scratch, they started their Lookout Holstein and Jersey Farm, Canton, De Hatley, Quebec. Today, with their 3 daughters involved, they continue to make their mark, breeding top animals in both breeds. Callum has judged over 800 shows worldwide, including 10 at World Dairy Expo. He says the key is to “look for the pattern, the kind you like and not worry about anything else.”

Callum uses Udder Comfort at shows and at home. “We put it on right up to the showring. It’s great for circulation. At home, any case of mastitis gets the Udder Comfort put to it. It works quickly to soften, while gentle to the skin.”

Quality Udders Make Quality Milk

Keep the milk in the system 1.888.773.7153 1.613.652.9086 uddercomfort.com Call to locate a distributor near you.

For external application to the udder only after milking, as an essential component of udder management. Always wash and dry teats thoroughly before milking.
