Purina® Wind & Rain® All Season 4 Mineral Tub CP

Beef cattle minerals in a cooked molasses tub that is designed to correct the mineral deficiencies of the available forage in a highly palatable, weather-resistant form.

This line of minerals is designed for cow/calf and seedstock operators that need a free-choice mineral supplement to assure that their cattle are getting the proper levels and ratios of the 14 essential minerals cattle need for health, growth, and reproduction.

Wind and Rain^® Mineral Tubs provide these benefits in cooked molasses formulas packaged in a non-returnable plastic tub. This gives the producer a mineral that is the ultimate in weather resistance, palatability and consistent consumption, all in its own mineral feeder.

- Feeding Directions
  Description
  
  Feed this product to cattle only. When used as directed, this tub will provide sufficient (S)- methoprene insect growth regulator to prevent the emergence of adult horn flies from manure of treated cattle. Existing adult horn flies will not be affected. Start feeding before horn flies appear and continue use until cold weather marks the end of the horn fly season.
  
  Cattle should consume 34 mg of (S)-Methoprene per 100 lbs of cattle body weight per month to achieve horn fly control. This is equivalent to an average of 0.571 ounces (0.0357 pounds) of this tub per 100 lbs. of cattle body weight per day, which is equivalent to 8 ounces (0.5 pound) per day for a 1,400 pound cow.
  
  To feed this tub, remove the protective sheet and score several times with a knife to encourage initial consumption.
  
  Allow free choice to cattle.
