Mineral Buffet Starter Pack

Start your flock off on the right hoof with our complete 20-Mineral System. This Starter Pack contains every loose mineral we offer in whichever quantity you choose; Choose from 2-, 4-, or 8-pound bags and we will send you 20 bags of loose minerals in that corresponding weight.

You'll be intrigued to learn which vitamins and minerals your flock devours when you offer them free choice, and which ones they ignore completely. You'll learn very quickly which nutrients your pastures, hay, and other feed sources are lacking. When you're ready to reorder individual loose minerals, hop on over to our Loose Minerals listing and place your order!

Please note: Salt (NaCl) is not included in our starter packs. It can be ordered individually here: Free Choice Salt

"5% of the animal is major and minor trace elements. Therefore, if you do not have these elements, you do not have an animal."

These Minerals Are Intended For:
Cattle, Dairy Livestock, Goats, & Sheep
Truthfully, any animal that needs minerals can use this - just use your judgment. Even our Livestock Guardian Dogs will take only what they need when they need it.

Learn About the Minerals:

Calcium (Ca): For skeletal development, osmoregulation, muscle contraction, blood coagulation, decreases permeability, reduces nerve irritability

Iodine (I): Controls thyroid (regulates metabolism)

Magnesium (Mg): Activates enzymatic systems - catalyzes starch digestion, essential for proper nerve & muscle formation

Phosphorus (P): For bone formation & fat & carbohydrate metabolism

Potassium (K): Primarily bonded to protein; influences osmotic equilibrium & intracellular osmotic pressure, aids uptake of neutral amino acids 

Silicon (Si): Important constituent of connective tissue, skin, & arteries

Sodium (Na): Primary alkaline plasma electrolyte producing ~92% of fluid alkalinity

Sulfur (S): For production of cystine, cysteine, methionine, & biotin; essential to co-feed with non-protein nitrogen for amino acid production

Vitamin C & B Mix (CB): 9 B vitamins essential for carbohydrate, lipid, amino acid, & fatty acid metabolism, electron transport, building & maintaining cell structure, and...

Vitamin C - for electron transport, formation & maintenance of collagen, enhances iron absorption (reduces ferric to more readily absorbed ferrous form), improves lysine & proline utilization

Vitamins A, D, & E Mix (V4): Vitamin A - aids vision (adaptation to low intensity light), growth (cellular stability in carbohydrate metabolism), participates in mucus-secreting cell growth & synthesis of proteins & mucopolysaccharides

Vitamin D - facilitates transfer of calcium ions & other divalent elements from mucosal to serosal side of intestinal tract, increases absorption & retention of phosphorus

Vitamin E - antioxidant, prevents pre-oxidation of lipids in cellular & subcellular membranes & unsaturated fatty acids

Alkaline Neutralizer (Cl): Aids in pH control

Acid Neutralizer (OH): Aids in pH control
