[QUOTE="cjmc, post: 1567115, member: 27842"] Using this link can give you a very general idea of what mineral levels are like in your area. It's free so I would say it's the cheapest way :D. Not all mineral antagonists are measured though so even if it shows there is enough of mineral X something not measured (like molybdenum) might be tying it up, causing a deficiency. Liver tests are the only way to know for sure so it's the best, but you need to test 5-10% of the heard so it can get really expensive. But you'll get really good data back showing what you are over supplementing & what Is close to deficit. If a guy is dead set on getting the best deal possible you could develop your own mineral & bid it out to feed companies. Click on any of the maps then your state & your county. It will give you levels for each tested mineral in your county. https://mrdata.usgs.gov/geochem/doc/averages/countydata.htm [/QUOTE]
