Cow/calf operators with extra pasture often keep their calves after weaning and “background” them to sell as yearlings for the feedlot. Others buy calves to background on pasture. All calves on grass lack the energy necessary to make efficient gains and often are short on protein as well. Supplementing growing cattle on pasture can be accomplished by hand-feeding grain and supplement in a bunk; hand-feeding cubes; or offering a self-limiting diet in a self-feeder. When raising cattle is your livelihood, discover the Kent brand difference!

Why are Kent brand products included on the Blue Seal website?

Since 1927, Kent has been a leading commercial livestock nutrition brand in the Midwest. In 2010, Kent Feeds and Blue Seal Feeds merged to form Kent Nutrition Group (KNG). Because of its strong quality nutrition reputation, Kent brand products for beef, swine, and show feeds are proudly offered through Blue Seal retailers. Get the commercial Kent brand products you need at your favorite seller of the Blue Seal brand so you can get the most out of your calves, when beef is your business.
