Billy Sonderegger began using CRYSTALYX^® Brigade^® barrels to help reduce sickness with highly stressed calves that he receives at his back grounding lot near Amity, Missouri. Within minutes after the calves are unloaded off the truck Bill says they start licking on the Brigade^® barrels. Then the calves get a drink of water and begin to eat dry feed. “This sure helps get them off to a good start,” according to Billy.

Once the calves start consuming Brigade^® the incidence of sickness is significantly reduced. Billy believes that the palatability of the Brigade^® barrels help get his young lightweight calves off to a good start. He says that Brigade^® has worked to reduce health problems with lightweight calves.

Jon Clark, from St. Joseph Agri Supply at St. Joseph, MO, says Billy has been using the Brigade^® barrels for about a year. When Jon visits with new customers who are starting calves, he recommends CRYSTALYX^® products like Brigade^® because the odds are in their favor. He says that calves that get off to a great start perform better all the way to market.

Billy Sonderegger is another satisfied customer who continues to use Brigade^® in his starting program as well as his sick pen to reduce recovery time.
