Not to intrude on this thread buut what is a good mineral that contains AC to feed?? So will this be able to let my buck eat the same grain with the doe's and hay to??

Manna Pro makes a loose mineral with AC in it, sold in 5 lb bags. I've seen it at MOST chain feed stores like TSC and Rural King. Says right on the front that it contains AC.

BUT, because consumption of minerals is variable...I wouldn't rely on these minerals to protect your bucks or wethers.

You can get UriCare tablets (vet rx) which are AC pills for dogs and cats, and figure out a good daily dose, hide it in a treat and dose your bucks/wethers that way, too. I use these tablets as a "bolus dose" when the weather changes or water consumption is limited thanks to freezing buckets as an extra measure.
