bk Sheep Nutrition Services is a unique program to sheep producers.  It allows you to have mineral mixes formulated to your sheep's needs, not to what a company puts in a bag.

I will provide your sheep the best possible nutrition by balancing rations based on your feeds using bk Sheep vitamin and trace mineral packages.  I will calculate your feed and mineral cost of your current diet and compare that to what I would recommend.  Many times I have saved producers money while increasing the vitamin and trace mineral levels in the sheep's diet.

I can also custom design grain and protein mixes using local products available to you, to meet the growth needs you expect of your lambs and production of your ewes.

By purchasing bk Sheep products, you will also receive nutritional advise and accurately balanced rations.  This will improve your flock's health and performance while increasing your profitability.

I have designed this program to be practical and profitable to use.

Begin with forage samples from your hay or pasture.  Accurate forage tests are used to properly balance the mineral mix and recommended ration for your animals.  Since feeds will vary from farm to farm, both locally and geographically, there is no way a company's one or two products can meet the needs accurately for many sheep over such a wide area.

Forage samples will give you a history of how your feeds vary in time.

Once I have received your forage samples from the lab, I will:
balance your sheep's ration for the stage of production and body weight
recommend grain & protein needs
recommend what you will need to  mix for a mineral blend using bk Sheep Base
recommend the consumption rate of what this mineral mix should be
