"In May 1995 I was offered a $40,000 per year savings on my feed bill if I would contract my protein supplements with another company for a year. Protein price futures were rising fast and I felt I had to take the savings. What a mistake. I did not save $40,000 by switching off of ANC. My cows developed sore feet and breeding problems."

"In January 1996, I switched back to ANC and saw a quick herd health turnaround. Cows started breeding back and within 7 weeks, most of the feet problems were gone and the cows could walk to the parlor and the feed bunk."
