How soon will I need to reorder?

Consumption varies greatly between herds and we've found it is not possible to anticipate which minerals a specific herd will need, but you'll find that many of these will not need to be reordered for quite some time.  We have users still using the same original minerals a year later because their goats consume hardly any.  You will find that you'll have about 5 or 6 top minerals you'll need to reorder fairly quickly but as your animals get into balance, they'll consume less and less, or switch to another few favorites as their needs change.

Is this safe for _______?

According to FCE, the mineral buffet is safe for all species which makes this system ideal for mixed species herds.  That's one of my favorite parts, not worrying if my sheep or goats are getting enough!

Best Product

My goats, sheep, llamas and alpacas all LOVE the mineral buffet. They look healthier and are all just in great shape. While I was skeptical initially, this works out so much better, no buying multiple bags of minerals, no more blousing angry little goats, just watching them be their happiest and healthiest. Given that many of my animals are rescues, the improvements have been amazing and easy to see.

Won the Giveaway!

Everything was shipped and packaged perfectly! I have not used the minerals yet because I was not prepared with a mineral buffet station because I won the giveaway and did not purchase the buffet with my own money.

I am over the moon excited to get this project finished and give my animals the minerals they deserve!
