Sirloin Builder Holstein Program

Sirloin Builder Starter and NR Starter are designed specifically for the beef producer raising Holstein calves from weaning to 300 lbs.

• All natural protein sources with an optimal blend of rumen degradable and undegradable sources.
• Supplies a high level of calcium and potassium needed to balance high grain diets.
• Minimal labor required in mixing and feeding
• High trace mineral supply to aid in immune function and improved health and performance.
• No grain processing cost.
• NR formula eliminates the need for additional roughage in most situations.
• No added roughage needed means less labor, mess and manure.
  
• Added Yeast Culture improves rumen function and stimulates feed intake resulting in improved average daily gains and efficiencies.
• Available with a choice of medication to improve feed efficiency and average daily gains.

Sirloin Builder Grower and NR Grower are designed for young calves on high energy diets to allow rapid weight gains and maximum profits.

Sirloin Builder NR Finisher is the final step in the Sirloin Builder NR Dairy Beef Program. It has been designed for cattle weighing at least 550 lbs. which have previously been fed a high grain ration.

• Optimal blend of rumen degradable and undegradable protein sources.
• Supplies a high level of calcium and potassium needed to balance high grain diets.
• Minimal labor required in mixing and feeding. • High trace mineral supply to aid in immune function and improved health and performance.
• No grain processing costs.
• No added roughage needed means less labor, mess and manure.
• Available with a choice of medications to improve feed efficiency, average daily gains and prevent liver abscesses.

Dairy Beef Management

• Use only dry shelled corn as the source of grain. Using high-moisture shelled corn can result in acidosis and decrease pellet quality.
• Provide fresh, clean water at all times with adequate drinking space.
• Never feed moldy or damaged corn.
• Never let feeders run out of feed.
• Always check feeders and clean any fines. Be especially careful after rain or snow.
  
• Mix pellets with corn thoroughly, but don't over mix. Excessive mixing can decrease pellet integrity.
  
• Bed cattle with corn cobs, shavings, or stalks…but be sure to be consistent when it is used.
• Provide adequate shelter. Dairy breeds are less tolerant of cold than beef breeds.
  
• Make sure drainage in lots is sufficient and avoid muddy conditions.
  
• Follow the vaccination program recommended by your veterinarian.
  
• Avoid over-handling pellets as this could increase fines.
  
• Minimize on-farm storage of pellets during warm, humid conditions; particularly in bins without lids as the pellets could absorb moisture during storage resulting in softening and increased fines.
  
• Feed an ionophore to maximize feed efficiency and decrease the incidence of bloat.
  
• Implant cattle according to implant label directions to increase performance and feed efficiency.
