Steer Planet - Show Steers and Club Calves Forum

I have never used it on my own cattle haven't had the need but I work at a vet clinic and cattle people use it all the time on commerical and show cattle they say it  gives the  slower growing cattle a jump start and some people use it as a preventive method just to make sure they are covering all area's. Everyone that gets it has a differnt method. We also use it when we have a cow or calf down we hit them with the recommended dose along with other medication. Its like a protien tub in a syringe for the most part.. If you were to use it I would check with a vet to make sure its something they think you need to use..also good when breeding.jmo 

how much did you give your recips?

I have been using it for a few years with my prebreeding shots and it is 1 cc per 200 lbs for cattle over 1 year, I think it is very useful.  Where it shines is in the commercial hiefers I breed for other people that haven't had the best minerial, better heats with it.

Griswolds endorse it and say it helps conception rates and # of eggs on donors. I'm trying it this year on show cattle and everything prebreeding. I have a friend who also swears by the Mineral Max 2 which is a similar product.

I use Min max II as part of my pre breeding regimen and I'm a believer in how it works. You'd have to read the label but on min max II the injection takes a month to take effect.

I noticed Mutimin 90 ran a full page add in the 2012 Accelerated Genetics sire directory.

for the facts about multimin90.

LN, do you happen to recall approximate price/hd.? Thanks

I dont mean for this to sound dumb but... does the time its adminstered to when you breed the cow make a big difference?

I am also thinking about using this for the first time and I was just going to give it when I put cidars in. I know there is a big club calf operation that used it around here last sumerl on their donors and it made a huge improvement to the amount of eggs they got.

I figured if it gets one cow to stick that normally wouldnt have then it has paid for itself.
