The best product depends on how you manage your silage—not a one-size-fits-all recommendation.

Protein isn't the whole story.
In the next episode of the Ahead of the Herd Podcast, Dr. Brian Dorcey and Dr. Monty Kerley explain why balancing diets for amino acids, instead of simply crude protein, can improve feed efficiency, increase carcass weight, reduce cost of gain, and support healthier cattle.

More carcass pounds means more opportunity at closeout.
In this trial of dairy crossbred calves started on feed at 200 lbs, the calves fed the amino acid balanced diet produced an average of 22 more pounds of hot carcass weight than the comparison group. The same trial also reached market 14 days sooner and had 10% more cattle grade Choice.

Performance isn't measured only by how cattle gain. It's measured by what they deliver at harvest.

How do we know exactly how cattle are performing?

At the Profectus Research Farm, the GrowSafe® system tracks individual feed intake, water visits, and body weight for every animal using EID technology and precision scales. That means better data, more accurate research, and nutrition recommendations backed by measurable results—not guesswork.
