Get Them Bred
Reproduction is one of the most Important keys to and foundation of livestock production. Open cattle in 2023 was a huge issue throughout most of the country. It was noted at the 2023 Range Beef Cow Symposium that the region averaged 15-20% opens with areas even higher!
While there are many factors in reproduction (genetics, environment, management, nutrition, etc.), the Agri-Best Feeds' program supports reproduction and has proven itself over time - even in 2023 where those committed to the Agri-Best Feeds' program had much better conception rates than their neighbors and others in the region.

The 2023 fly season seemed to have a negative impact on many cattle maintaining pregnancy. Check out our Pioneering Natural Solutions for Age Old Problems to see how we can help reduce the impact of biting insects.
'Preg tested our yearling heifers today–we had only put the bulls in for 28 days, so we expected a lot of opens. Not so much–197/230 to calve in 28 days–gonna be a BUSY March in the calving barn! We use SweetPro year round on all our cattle, and will never use anything else, its improved so many things about our herd, molasses barrels just don’t even compare.
