Free Choice Minerals Improve Cattle Performance

I have found that my mineral supplement has improved the performance of my cattle herd.

Using a 3-section mineral feeder, which is on skids to easily move with the herd, each section has:

Redmond conditioner which improves rumen heath:

• buffers pH levels

• increases feed efficiency

• improves fiber digestion

• binds harmful toxins

• nourishes microbe colonies

(If using for the first time, add sugar or molasses to entice the cattle to consume it)

Natural soda (sodium bicarbonate) with garlic powder

• the soda helps stabilize rumen by reducing acidic conditions

• the garlic powder acts as a fly repellent

Raw, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar

• helps break down stored forage during the winter thus reducing feed supplementation due to high enzyme content in vinegar

• helps resist disease and internal/external parasites due to alkaline forming acetic acid

I've noticed that since using this free choice mineral program:

1. the cattle have slicked off their winter coat sooner

2. conception rates are higher

3. births are easier

4. body condition has improved

I'm happy with the results!
