[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1178621, member: 9096"] I am reluctant to look for range for the same reasons, and because I'll probably end up with wild critters that are harder to work with when I need to. I would like to be able to get rid of the cattle for 2 months of the year though, it would really help with pasture management. Purity Feeds in Kamloops *had* good livestock mineral, I was using the 6:12 beef and it was good until they started messing with the formula... they cut the Selenium down 75%, as well as reduced copper and a bunch of other important ones, I chewed their arses out 2 weeks ago when I got home and read the tag and found out it wasn't what I was expecting... They said I could return it (and drive 300 miles to do it)... Fellow said he's working on getting the original formula again.. I'll let you know how that goes.. Perhaps there's a good feed place in Williams Lake that has something equivalent.. worth a try. I'd look for a copper content of about 2500 ppm, Selenium at 75-125 ppm, and more phosphorus than calcium (6:12 means 6%Ca, 12%P) and is a good starting point, they also had 9:18, but cost a bunch more.
