Chillin' with the herd
I was offering Blue Seal Min-A-Vite loose mineral, but they discontinued it and replaced it with Min-A-Vite lite in pellet form :/ I have researched the other loose mineral mixes, but they vary quite a bit. The man up the road uses Purina goat mineral, but it has a very high salt content. Why would they make 45% salt? A bit of info: two 10.5 month old nigerian dwarf does, 42ish pounds. Going to breed them in the next month or two with a buck nearby. Their feed has 18% protein
Here's my chart, please give me your thoughts on which one you would prefer.
