Project Accomplished! - Mineral Buffet Pt 3

This is our first foray into dialing in our nutrition on the farm for our goats. Feed is obviously an extremely important part of the puzzle, but with goats, minerals are also very important. Most issues with goats can be prevented when they are given the appropriate mineral options. This Holistic Goat Mineral option was purchased from Little Avalon Farm, littleavalonfarm.com. We re very excited to get this out to our girls and see what minerals they tell us they need! This is the mineral buffet we are using: mineralbuffet.com.

Good job

Thanks!!

Good luck. So what is the point? To see what mineral they LIKE the most , or what mineral they NEED the most?
"Free choice" usually leads to consuming the tastiest substance. This can lead to overconsumption and disbalance of the elements. Be careful.

Hey! Thanks for your question. The point is to hopefully provide them with minerals that they may not be getting through their diet, which can be deficient in specific minerals dependent on where the feed is from, what it is, etc. Most animals instinctually know what they need and will seek out something specific. This is different with feed, as all animals generally have a scarcity mindset that domestication has yet to satisfy.

@thewalnuthillfarmwi I get it. Just keep in mind, that some minerals are poisonous in large quantities. Free access to excess of purified minerals over time can lead to disbalance and disease.
