Thanks to Ken Rabas and David Miller from Kalona. A great couple of hours was had with about 20 farmers talking about infant mammal digestion and milk replacers. We share the time with Dirk from Goat Improvement Company who spoke about genetics.

Get-Go gained new customers and we will be back in Kalona later in the year.

You won't guess what I heard last week. I think I need to wean that calf, it won't stay in the pen.

Quote of the day, Get-Go Revive, like Bluelite on steroids.

New Testimonial in today. Farmer raising Boer billies for meat thought his kids were getting big. Weighed them and found many were over 50 # at 50 days old. They are now weaned. Get-Go MR+ produced these outstanding results. Another farmer also checked, he has raised all his kid goats this year and only lost one. www.atrthrive.com products available through the online store or call and talk to Nicole. Thanks for using Get-Go.

This is why field data matters.

Over the past four months, one commercial goat operation running 10–12,000 head annually implemented the Get-Go program starting at arrival (approximately 3 days of age).

Protocol:
• Revive on arrival
• MR+ through the feeding period
• Revive again as needed

These kids often arrive after less-than-ideal early management. We are not claiming improvements in colostrum or passive transfer — that happens before they reach us.

What we are seeing:

• Marked reduction in death loss
• Stronger, more consistent growth
• Fewer animals requiring intervention
• A noticeably calmer barn environment

Even before accounting for potential reductions in days-to-market or feed savings, the improvement in survivability alone has generated a substantial economic return relative to program cost.

The most encouraging part?
The goats simply look better.

We’ll share shipping and time-to-slaughter data once it’s finalized.

If you're working with high-risk arrivals and want to improve resilience from day one, reach out.

Results matter.

Even though much of the kidding season is coming to an end, we gain more dairy goat kids on Get-Go. A recent field trip to visit an operation on their second year of use is leading to more customers for Get-Go.

What I learnt at the Spring Forage Conf in Springfield MO. There was a theme to the comments, one I didn't expect. Beef producers handle their new born calves almost right after birth, they are paying very close attention to their needs on day one. On top of that I was shocked to hear how much they would pay for that one treatment with the goal of setting the calves up right for their life ahead. We are paying 7 x the cost of one dose of Get-Go FM. And there is still no confidence that their treatment is working. If you have access to that new born one dose of Get-Go FM is going to set that new born up for life. Consider it, give me a call or jump on line to ATRThrive.com.

Welcome Greetings Area Forage and Livestock Producers, On behalf of the Spring Forage Conference Planning Committee, I am pleased to invite you to our 42nd annual Southwest Missouri Spring Forage Conference. The event will be held Tuesday, February 17th at The Oasis Convention Center on North Glenst...

Coolest feed back this week, we are now giving Get-Go to all our Bulls that we want to sell. When our Bull buyer turns up and finds a calf with a poopy tail he makes us keep it an extra week. Not worth it, Get-Go means no poopy tails and a better calf.
