Implant RALGRO any time you handle your beef cattle and you’ll see a weight gain. RALGRO is essential to good cattle management. It is not a hormone, but the only growth promoting implant you can use in cattle. It is implanted subcutaneously on the back side of the ear, one inch from the head. Animals gain faster and convert feed more efficiently when they receive life cycle implanting. RALGRO is cleared by the FDA for use in feedlot steers and yearlings, growing beef cattle, steer and yearling calves. RALGRO is approved for use in replacement yearlings. There are no withdrawal days using RALGRO. Reimplant every 100 days for additional gains. The approved dosage for beef cattle is three pellets of 12 mg each, a total of 36 mg of zeranol (the generic name of the active ingredient) per animal. One cartridge with 24 doses.

Low cost high return
I've been using Ralgro implants for a couple of years and it's money well spent. I implant all my calves the first time I get them all up and work em (about 90 days old), then again at weaning. Cost per head is just a few $$$, but I sell calves that are 20+ lbs heavier than before I began implanting. Its easy to do, just takes a few seconds per head, and gives me a great return in my investment. All producers regardless of the size of their operation are costing themselves money if they aren't using this simple tool.
