ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Every rancher has heard the pitch before. Something new hits the market promising better weaning weights, better conception rates, less sickness in the calves... and half the time it turns out to be snake oil with a fancy label. So in this episode we sat down and actually ran the numbers on one of the more talked about tub programs out there, Riomax. Not just the marketing version, the real cost per head per day version. Tub vs cake. Tub vs loose mineral. Tub vs a protein block plus mineral. We get into what's actually in the tub, why the ingredients make more of a difference than most people realize, and whether the math holds up in the field. If you've ever been on the phone doing mental math on whether the expensive option is secretly the cheaper one, this episode is for you.
