Riomax® Tailgate Talks

Ed Parke ranches in East Central Alberta and has been using Riomax on his cow herd for years. The way he puts it is, "When I got in trouble was when I quit using them [Riomax]!" Although he thought he was saving money by using a tub with a cheaper upfront price, he discovered it was actually more expensive on a cost per head per day basis. Hear Ed discuss how Riomax has helped him work with nature and get more out of his existing forages, even the 'worthless slough grass'!

Trent Hendricks, vice president of the American Grassfed Association, ranches in Southern Missouri. He uses Holistic Management, which enables him to put an emphasis on energy, food, and the health of ecosystems around him.
