Product Description
A 30% protein, high distillers grains compressed block, formulated for cattle consuming low quality forages. This product is formulated with the inclusion of urea.
Features & Benefits
Cube in a Container
The unique formula of this product makes it similar to a cube, with its own container. All the benefits of cube feeding (protein delivery, total intake) without needing to drive the pasture on a daily basis.
Highly Palatable
The high DDGS inclusion creates a highly palatable block, encouraging and maintaining intakes across the herd.
Continuous Protein Delivery
Research has shown that multiple, small doses of protein help improve forage digestion. This product provides supplemental protein 24/7, helping cattle get most out of each bite. This product is ideal for cattle consuming low quality forages, such as dormant grass or corn stalks.
Trace Minerals and Vitamins
Formulated to provide trace mineral and vitamin nutrition to support overall animal health and performance.
Trace Mineral Amino Acid Complexes
More readily available forms of copper, zinc, manganese and cobalt compared to inorganic sources. Improved trace mineral status supports skin, hair and hoof integrity, proper immune function and helps to maintain overall animal health and performance.

Feeding Directions
Following a 7 to 10 day acclimation period, average consumption should be 0.75 to 1.3 pounds per day for mature cattle with unrestricted forage supplies. Position the tubs 50 to 75 feet from loafing, feeding and watering areas. Some repositioning of tubs may be necessary as animals become acclimated to the presence of the tubs. Move tubs closer to Increase consumption,: further away to decrease consumption. If overconsumption occurs for more than two weeks and repositioning of tubs does not correct the situation, remove tubs and evaluate the overall feeding program. DO NOT ALLOW STARVED ANIMALS FREE ACCESS TO THIS TUB.
1. Provide 1 tub per 15 to 30 head. All animals should have equal access to tubs. Timid and smaller animals need their share.
2. Place tubs where animals congregate. Locate tubs throughout the pasture at loafing, grazing and watering areas. Adequate distance must be maintained between tubs to minimize crowding - 10 feet minimum.
3. Feed tubs continuously along with a plentiful source of forage and clean, fresh water. Animals should not run out of tubs. When a tub is two-thirds consumed, provide a new tub near it.
4. Cattle should consume 0.75 to 1.3 pounds per head daily based on a 1,000-pound animal.
5. Consumption of this tub may vary depending upon animal body condition, quality and quantity of forages, seasonal weather conditions, and most importantly. feeding locations of tubs with respect to loafing, grazing, feeding and watering areas.
6. If additional mineral and vitamin fortification is desired, provide an appropriate free choice mineral supplement in addition to this supplement.
Warning
This product, which contains added copper, should not be fed to sheep or any species with a low tolerance to supplemental copper.
Caution
Use as directed. Do not feed to horses. Consumption of selenium should not exceed 3 mg per head day.
