Choosing the Right Protein Tub for Your Herd

As winter approaches, maintaining proper cattle nutrition becomes increasingly important. When forage quality is low, supplemental protein can help cattle meet their nutritional needs and maintain body condition through the colder months.

Nutritional requirements can vary based on factors such as body condition score, stage of production, forage quality and availability, and environmental conditions. Because every operation is different, choosing the right supplement is key.

Not sure which tub is the best fit for your operation? Reach out to your Farmers Cooperative livestock production specialist. They can help evaluate your needs and recommend the option that works best for your herd.

Below, we’ve highlighted the protein tubs available from Farmers Cooperative through Purina and Crystalyx. Product availability varies by location, so contact your local Farmers Cooperative or a livestock production specialist to check availability.
