Loose minerals

[TRAILRIDER]

What do you use? I didn't want to hijack the "concerned about higher feed prices thread", but boy goat minerals are expensive. A very small bag of Manna Pro Goat Minerals was 13.00 + the other day. Does any body use anything different?

I looked at the breakdown on the other bigger bags (cattle minerals) but they didn't have near as much copper.

we use Right Now Onxy (Cargill) Cattle mineral, it has ... just bought a new bag today.. same price as usual.. $28 for 50lbs.... it has a decent amount of copper (enough that we only bolus once a year.. in the fall, right before kidding)

I just bought a bag of the mineral I use it's by ADM Alliance & called Goat Power mineral, it's $29.00 for a 50 pound bag & last quite a long time.

I use to use Cargill brand Right Now Onyx but the feed stores around here no longer get any Cargill products because of some problem with salesman &/or company is what I was told.

Sweetlix also makes a pretty good loose mineral comparable to ADM's mineral I use & about the same price. It may be easier for you to find.

If you have a mom & pop type feed store they are usually pretty good about ordering different things for their customers if it's by a company they already deal with.

If you sign up for Purina's challenge they send you tons of coupons. The last time I got mineral it was 3 bucks off.
