A.J.":16mu5pxi said:I'm not sure about the best mineral for your area, but it would be good to start with an all purpose loose cattle mineral. It's best to get a cattle mineral, and not one for multi species. Here in the spring and early summer when grass is the most lush, we put out high mag minerals, then transition to an all purpose pasture mineral or fly mineral . Minerals can help with reproductive efficiency, fetal development, growth, and overall health like a human might take a vitamin to help with what we might not be getting enough of in our food. It might be good to check with a local coop or ag extension agent in your area to see what might work best for you.
