All rations will give a complete
printout of trace mineral levels. I concentrated on providing the
legal limit of selenium and feeding higher levels of vitamin E. I
will balance to insure a proper copper to molybdenum ration to help
prevent copper toxicity. Other micro nutrients of concern will be
zinc, cobalt and iodine levels. When comparing for the first time,
I can show you how a custom blended mineral mix designed by me would
compare to what your sheep are receiving now. You will know all
vitamin and trace mineral levels. I do not hide information from
my customers.
These products do not have any added copper.

I
can also design new vitamin and trace mineral packages for areas
requiring unique nutritional needs due to soil or forage factors.
It
is because of this variability that we need to start with forage
analysis that are tested for the trace minerals.
One bag of bk
Sheep Base will feed approximately 20-25 ewes for six months.
