“The biggest reason that I recommend SWEETLIX® CopperHead® minerals is based on the original results on liver biopsies from cattle out of the Southeast. The results showed deficiencies in trace minerals, especially copper, leading to unthrifty calves and calves with poor immunity once they reach the feedlot.”
“Producers that we have put on CopperHead® report stronger, healthier calves and improved conception rates and reduced breed back time in the cow herd. Plus it makes them pretty and black.”
“The use of CopperHead® minerals has reduced the effects of fescue toxicity in cow herds and improving hair coat condition.”
“We had followed over 10,000 calves through the feedlot period. Calves that came from farms feeding SWEETLIX® CopperHead® minerals showed reduced medical costs and decreased death losses in the feed yard.”
