Andrew and Alison Pauli lead Maxwelton Feed & Grain with a clear focus on practical results, consistent quality, and livestock performance. With hands on involvement in feed production and a strong understanding of cattle nutrition, they ensure every product is formulated to support real on-farm outcomes. Their approach is straightforward reliable feed, honest standards, and long term value for producers.
A weaner will typically consume 2–3% of its body weight per day. For example, a 100 kg weaner will eat approximately 2–3 kg of feed daily.
When introducing feed to young cattle, ensure that 60–70% of the diet consists of hay or good quality pasture and 30 - 40% of grain. The grain proportion can be progressively increased over time to support improved weight gain.
Feed Maxi Calf up to 120 kg, then transition to Maxi Weaner until 180 kg, followed by Maxi Grower to achieve the desired outcome. As a guide, a 100 kg calf will typically require around 4 weeks on Maxi Calf before moving onto Maxi Weaner.
Ensure animals have equal access to feed by providing adequate trough space for the entire herd when feeding daily. If feeding less frequently, use feed bins with controlled access or mechanical restrictions to regulate intake. Where possible, draft animals by weight and manage them in separate groups to minimise competition and bullying.

No. All Maxi stockfeed products contain monensin, which is toxic to horses and must not be fed to them
