Highlighted Reviews
"I raise American Aberdeen for seedstock and show. Ever since I discovered Kalmbach I feed it exclusively to my calves. It provides the nutrition they need to get to their genetic full potential!! Of course after grown, it's grass only and they all do wonderfully!!"
"It was not obvious that this grain is medicated. I have horses and dogs that would be affected if it was ingested. I don’t mind that it’s medicated as it was for a bottle baby, but find something that won’t harm my dog or horse if accidentally eaten."
Bottom Line
Highly recommended for focused cattle operations but avoid keeping it with other pets.
