• THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE FEED. It has been designed to be fed with good quality hay and/or pasture feeding. As this feed contains high starch levels more care should be taken with the introduction program.
• RIVERINA SALE & SHOW PELLETS/MEAL can be fed to growing and mature beef bulls. Feed between 0.5-1.5% of bodyweight/head/day. This feed can be fed to cattle in troughs, self feeders or in a mixed ration.
• Troughs – split amount to be fed between 2 feeds, each day. It is critical to have enough trough space for all animals to eat at the same time.
• Self-Feeders – Use the slides on the feeders to control intakes. Feeders should be placed at the opposite end of the paddock to water troughs to promote grazing.
• Mixed Ration – Can be mixed with silage/hay and other ingredients to form a complete or partial mixed ration to be fed in a semi feedlot situation.
• Ensure that the cattle have continuous access to fresh, clean water.
• Roughage can be provided in the form of grazing pastures, feeding of hay and or silage in feeders.
• While feeding, monitor the bulls regularly to check on their health, weight, body condition (fat coverage) and physical soundness.

Introduction Program:

• When starting cattle, this feed should be gradually introduced, to allow the rumen to adapt and to avoid acidosis/ grain poisoning. For stud cattle it is recommended that this be done over at least 2 months.
• Gradually increase the intake of this feed. Opening up the slides on the self-feeders. Increasing the feeding amounts. Or by increasing the concentration of this feed in a mixed ration.

Typical Program:

• Start background feeding 6 months prior to sale.
• Commence feeding at 0.5% of body weight. This can be gradually increased over a couple of months to 1% of body weight.
• 2 months prior to sale the cattle can be put into yards to finish them. At this time feeding levels can be increased to 1.5% of body weight and fed in conjunction with good quality grassy hay in feeders.

Note:

• There are many factors involved in the preparation of stud cattle for sale, contact your Riverina Representative for complete advice on how to feed your stud cattle.
