Testimonials

Hydro-Lac reduces my shrink, keeps cattle on feed and eating.

- Mark Giese & Vince Delmonico

I saw the improvement and added pounds when I fed Hydro-Flexx. Improved the economics of cattle. I use it when needed to help improve my cattle and I have seen results!

- Butch Olson

Using Hydro-Lac reduced my shrink from 10% to around 3% on shipping heifers.

- Ponderosa Custom Feedlot

We now pay more attention to our operation and are doing a much better job tracking our cattle. We appreciate the individualized attention to our operation that we receive from Form-A-Feed. They actually walk our cattle prior to making recommendations and take the time to discuss them with us. We are able to make necessary changes prior to items becoming a problem.

- Gene & David McClellan

We started using the Tend-R-Leen 525 NBC product last year on our calves on pasture to make up a creep feed using our corn out of the bin so there wasn’t so much out-of-pocket expense.  We mixed it ourselves and used our seed tender to deliver it to creep feeders on pasture. We feel the Rumensin® in the pellet kept the coccidiosis and bloat problems under control and the consumption stayed steady.  The calves seemed to wean easier than the past because they knew what corn was and went right to the corn silage. The calves didn’t show any more flesh than when we used a conventional creep.

- Miller Ranch

In warm weather, it’s a no brainer! It just makes good sense. Hydro-Lac is a tool that should be in everybody’s cattle feeding toolbox.

- Ron Nykamp

Stress Lic tubs with Stealth 5 improved my calves. I can see the difference in calves that are on it vs. the ones that aren’t!

- Wally Antony

I always weigh my cattle locally before shipping. I have experienced shrink as low as 1% on a 160-mile haul to Dakota City, Nebraska when using the Hydro-Lac program. I have used Hydro-Lac on all my cattle I ship for the last eight years.

- David Schumacher

Hydro-Flexx makes a big difference. I’ve noticed dramatic changes with our live weight. We’re getting about 0.5% higher dressing percentage. Cull cows also dress higher when fed Hydro-Flexx. Heifers used to ship 1350-1425 lbs., but with Hydro-Flexx ship at 1425-1500 lbs.
