We have so much sulfur in the ground here in Tennessee from years and years of buring coal, that our cattle often show signs of a copper definicey. I switched over to a mineral produced by Furst-McNess that will help the cattle absorb the copper in their diet. It is their Bova breeder 9 and it sure has worked for my cattle . It will make black cattle black and also keeps them breeding back. I am feeding Bova breeder 5 right now. It is their Hi-Mag version without loosing the copper absorbition. This is for beef cattle. I hope this helps.

I order direct - 1-800-435-5104 - They will deliver direct to you farm or wherever you want it. I usually get 1 ton or 40 bags delivered in here. They send out delivery trucks weekly and it just depends on how your order hits in shipping whether you get it in a week or two. Hope this helps,this will be the third year that I have been using Furst McNess mineral and I have been very pleased with it. The only one not happy is the local mineral supplier,they lost my account but this copper absorbition deal is huge in a herd of black cattle.
