Mostly interested in how the real world effects of Amaferm translate.  Do you feel cattle perform better on this product? Seriously thinking about giving it a whirl and then potentially dealing a little of it as well.  Any experiences you have positive or negative would be great!

I started feeding vita ferm before it was the 'cool' thing to do. I love it. We use the mineral and lick tubs. We also use sure champ. The stuff flat works. Amaferm does things that other feed ingredients just can't do. The products also have chelated minerals and are processed better. We even use the mineral for our horses. I use to be a dealer and we moved and I don't have the storage now for it.

Our show calves are on Sure Champ and the stress tubs and our pasture cattle are on the Mineral with vitaferm.  We have had the best crop of calves this year and even with the heat all the cattle look good with shiny hair.  Very happy with the products.

I have Sure Champ pellets mixed into my feed at the mill at a rate of one pound per head per day at 16 pounds daily intake.  I only feed my steers 16-18 pounds of feed a day and we get ADG's as good or better than most in our area. G-Luck

Thank you for all of the replies.  It's really good to hear that the amaferm ingredient is doing what they say it will do and I love how much research they have backing it up.  I need performance on forage since we winter graze in cold country and am also looking to get some young weaned calves going for shipping a long ways and developing some bulls.  Looks like this could do the trick.

We really had good results with vitaferm show champ. When we started feeding we noticed improvement in hair and apetite in both our steer and heifer.
