The best thing I can say about TRM is it does what it’s supposed to. The wheat mineral eliminated my bloat problems and cow mineral in my opinion is the best out there. Breed ups are in the high 90s and consumption is where it should be. Being a smaller operator, these things are crucial because every calf I sell is money in the bank.

This drought has showed how much this mineral has sure helped my operation. My breed back on fall and spring calvers has remained in the mid 90’s on short seasons. No retained placentas and good health. Weaning weights off a little but not by much. I really enjoy seeing the baby calves eat this mineral. This is the best mineral I have fed.

I’ve been using Texas Range Minerals for approximately 6 yrs. Consumption seems to be what it should be and cows have bred at around 92-95%. All of this in a drought.

I think the number one goal of a successful mineral program is consumption. With TRM we see good consumption and great performance from our cows.

Wanted you to know we just weaned our calves and steers and heifers grossed 672 pounds. Cows bred back 95%. Ever since we started using your mineral we have been consistently on track.

We have been using TRM since 2007. These minerals are different than any I have ever fed.
Since switching to TRM our cow cost have been low, running around $22.00 per year (2012) plus conception rates and weaning weights have gone up. Even during the drought our cows bred up and did not get strung out.
I like the fact these minerals are matched up to our grass and made for our different needs, cow calf, bloat mineral for calves on wheat and mineral for calves on grass.
I can gladly recommend Texas Range Minerals to anybody.

Texas Range Minerals have been doing us a real good job. We have used it since October 2003. Cattle eat it good even after it gets rained on and it does not spoil. I like this mineral also because I can feed salt right beside the mineral. The mix we use is the Red River Basin mix that is mixed for our grass and our gypy water. I can recommend this mineral.

“Texas Range Minerals have been doing us a very good job since we started using them in June 1993. We operate a purebred Foundation Beefmaster herd. Our main breeding season is only 30 days, as we are putting a heavy emphasis on fertility. It is very important for cattle to be on a high quality, well balanced mineral. I also like the way young nursing calves eat the mineral. This is an excellent mineral, well suited for our purposes and area.”

This mineral has really helped me tighten up my calving season. My cows breed up quicker and the calves are born closer together. That makes my weaning weight average go up. I can feed salt with this mineral. It is formulated for my country. It is economical and I can recommend Texas Range Minerals to other ranchers.

We have experienced a 98% conception rate in our mature cowherd. The con-ception rate of our first and second-calf heifers has really improved. The health of our herd is better, especially in the reduction of retained placentas.

“Our cattle have done exceptionally well on the mineral mixes Gerry Cates formulated for our country even during the drought. They eat mineral when they need it and I like the fact that I can keep salt out with this mineral. We had some cows on Milo stalks that were on a special mix and they came out of the winter looking great. (Cows) all clean up after calving and had excellent breed ups. The baby calves eat the mineral good and it is very cost effective .”
