New Names, New Logo, Same Great Feed Tubs
By Julie Garden Robinson, Food and Nutrition
Specialist NDSU Extension Service
For most kids, alarm docks are back in action.
School has begun.
As children get ready for the day, keep breakfast
on the morning agenda. With a little planning,
breakfast can become an opportunity for a family
meal, too.
According to a survey of 1,000 families sponsored
by the National Parent Teacher Organization and
American Cereal Council, not all kids are eat-
ing breakfast every day. The survey showed that
three out of every 10 kids miss breakfast one day
a week.
Kids who skip breakfast often say they aren't
hungry or they're tired. Maybe they need an ear-
lier bedtime.
The researchers reported that mothers, in par-
ticular, are important role models. Mothers' break-
fast habits affect theLr children's breakfast habits.
If mothers ate breakfast, the kids were more likely
to eat breakfast.
Think about the food choices being modeled,
too. If morn or dad eats chocolate-covered donuts
and sips soda pop for breakfast, guess what the
kids want?
Eating breakfast helps children and adults con-
centrate better, which improves school and work
performance. Take advantage of school breakfast
programs, which provide a balanced meal to fuel
children for learning.
Research shows that kids and adults who eat
breakfast are less likely to overeat later in the
day, which can help with weight management.
Breakfast skippers more than make up for the 300
or so calories skipped in the morning. Children
who eat breakfast regularly are less likely to have
cavities at dental checkups, too.
While cartoon characters on the boxes of many
super-sweetened cereals beckon children from the
store shelves, these products aren't the healthiest
choices. Read the Nutrition Facts labels carefully.
Look high on the shelves instead of at eye level or
lower, where the kids' cereals often are placed.
Choose whole-grain cereals and whole-grain
breads, which contain beneficial fiber and other
nutrients. To select whole-grain foods, look for a
health claim on the package and check the first
couple of items on the ingr (lient list. For example,
look for oatmeal, whole whdat, or whole grain.
Aim for foods from three or
four different food groups-for
breakfast, such as a grain meat,
fruit, and'milk' Whole frmt,
whole grains, and protein-rich
food, such as an egg or peanut
butter, will keep you feeling hill
longer.
If you have no time in the
morning, try some time-saving
strategies. Set the table the nigfit
before. Put the cereal box on
the table. If you want a hearti-
er breakfast, such as pancakes,
measure out the dry ingredients
in a bowl. Add the wet ingredi-
ents in the morning.
Consider these ideas for quick
and easy breakfasts.
* Cereal with sliced bananas
and milk
* Homemade cereal mix with
whole-grain cereal, nuts, dried
fruit, and milk
* Fruit and yogurt smoothie
with graham crackers
* Waffles with fresh strawber-
ries, lean ham, and low-fat milk
* Mini-pizzas made with English muffms, pizza
sauce, cheese, Canadian bacon or other toppings,
and orange juice
* Scrambled eggs, whole-wheat toast, orange
slices, and low-fat milk
* Leftover pizza, sliced cantaloupe, and low-fat
milk
* Breakfast burrito with salsa (see following
recipe), sliced peaches, and low-fat milk

Breakfast Burrito with Salsa
4 large eggs
2 Tbsp. frozen corn
1 Tbsp. 1 percent milk
2 Tbsp. diced green peppers
1/4 c. minced onions
1 Tbsp. diced fresh tomatoes
1 tsp. mustard
1/4 tsp. granulated garlic
1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce (optional)
4 8-inch flour tortillas
1/4 c. canned salsa
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing
bowl, blend the eggs, corn, milk, green peppers,
onions, tomatoes, mustard, garlic, hot pepper
sauce, and salt for one minute until the eggs are
smooth. Pour egg mixture into a lightly oiled 9-
inch by 9-inch by 2-inch baking dish and cover
with foil. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the eggs
are set and thoroughly cooked. Wrap tortillas in
plastic and microwave for 20 seconds until warm.
Be careful when unwrapping the tortillas because
the steam can be hot. Cut baked egg mixture into
four equal pieces and roll one piece of cooked egg
in each tortilla. Serve each burrito topped with 2
tablespoons of salsa.
Makes four servings. Each serving has 200 calo-
ries, 8 grams of fat, 21 grams of carbohydrate and
3 grams of dietary fiber.
Safety IS a very important subject.
Review these helpful tips for an A+ performance!
Hold the handrail while going up and down the stairs. Sit down imme-
diately and stay seated until the bus comes to a complete stop at your
school.
Speak quietly on the bus. so you don't distract the driver. Keep your feet
and your belongings out of the aisles.
When you get off the bus. always cross the street a few feet in front of
the bus so the driver can easily see you. Never go behind the bus!

The third-generation fam-
ily of entrepreneurs, Steve and
Marcy Orwig, are proud to be
carrying on a working tradi-
tion of manufacturing premium
quality, low-moisture, livestock
feed supplement tubs. Over the
years the Orwigs' companies
have changed and expanded to
accommodate customers and
some part-time employees. There
are also many independent sales
representatives who recruit dis-
tributors, dealers and private-
label accounts throughout the
United States and Canada.

and distribution corporation, "The molasses comes from the
the time. Just push the tubs
out of the pickup or loader and
they're out there, always avail-
able when the livestock need
them most!" Orwig said.
Before his death in 1991,
called Orwig's MVP Tubs Inc.
(Formerly Molasses Livestock
Supplement Tubs International
Inc.) The "MVP," stands for
Minerals,Vitamins, and Proteins.
The company is now represented
by a new logo that is a silhouette
of a goat, cow, horse, and sheep
head above a feed tub.
Their businesses are located
5 miles east of Ellendale, ND on
Hwy. 11. The two and a half year
old, state-of-the-art, manufactur-
ing facility also is newly renamed;
Orwig's Livestock Supplements
Inc. (Formerly Orwig's MLS Tubs
Inc.) and it uses an innovative
approach to dehydrating molas-
ses. The Orwigs are looking at
a potential patent pending on
their proprietary continual-flow
tub manufacturing process and
cooking apparatus.
"Dehydrating molasses into a
hard, peanut-brittle-like consis-
tency has proven a wonderfully
viable base for livestock supple-
mentation and we are very good
at it. This is the ONLY thing
we have ever done! My hus-
band, Steve has over 22 years of
hands-on experience cooking and
formulating these low-moisture
blocks." said Marcy Orwig, MVP
owner and chief financial officer.
The Ellendale, ND businesses

gy source and all natural protein has continued what his father
content, with a 0.5% minimal had envisioned, but did not get a
moisture content after process-
ing," Orwig said. "Our way of
incorporating the ingredients
into the first cooked then cooled
molasses keeps all the valuable
ingredients equally suspended
from top to bottom throughout
the tub, so the Orwig's MVP Tub
is perfectly consistent."
The viscous liquid molasses
covering also gives the ingredi-
ents a substantially longer shelf
life than if the content were sim-
ply bagged. The molasses base
is so dry that it pulls moisture
from the air to soften. With the
animals' licking action, an even
amount is released on top for
ingestion. You can control the
consumption by the actual con-
tainer size, number of contain-
ers made available or size of
the group of livestock on the
tubs. Adding to .their appeal,
the Orwig's MVP Tubs are com-
pletely waste proof and weath-
erproof. If'they are rained on,
the livestock simply lick it off.
If it snows on them, the animals
will still find it and consume the
product through the snow.
"The Orwig's MVP Tubs are
also much less costly per-head-
chance to do, and has worked with
countless producers through-
out Canada, the central United
States, even all the way down
to Mexico. rib complement the
diverse feeding stages, unusual
weather conditions and differing
roughage available in each area,
Steve has created well over 200
formulas specifically formulated
for each phase of livestock pro-
duction. Each formula of course
varies in MVP content and is
priced accordingly.
Gattle formulations are pre-
dominantly produced, but
Orwig's MVP Tubs also offers
formulations for horses, sheep,
goats, llama, deer, and bison.
Several sizes are made available:
40-, 50-, 60-, 100-, 125-, 200- and
250-pound sizes. Several con-
tainer choices are also offered,
including returnable, plastic,
recyclable, prefabricated, fiber,
and I-IDPE I/2 barrels.
