    Mineral Cost

    TB think it was asked about shelf life, found some a yr old, cost at last yrs price, will the fly control and everything else be effective? Bird dog I think the injectable only has a few things, zinc, manganese, selenium and copper. May lack alot of stuff, that crossed my mind.
