Been looking at this for awhile and when the Black Friday deal came up I pounced. Took awhile to get it set up but we currently have in 2 separate pens for our herds. One pen is crazy for the minerals and the other doesn’t really care. It’s interesting to see which minerals they go for. We’ve filled up boron, vitamin c&b, salt and potassium twice already. Very happy with shipping, packaging and the minerals. Just another great thing to ensure the health of our goats. Thank you so much for making this available
Amazing products & customer service!!
I used for lice on my goats and remedied in just days! Now I keep on hand and add regularly to their bedding to prevent future outbreaks. Getting the mineral buffet next!
I have started a small Pygmy and Nigerian Dwarf goat herd and a small alpaca herd. Personally, I use natural herbs, essential oils, and food as medicine and always want to do the same for my animals. I found Little Avalon Farm and the Mineral Buffet in my research and was so excited when she offered a Black Friday sale! I purchased the 2 pound option. Although the minerals showed up quickly, I had yet to find a way of offering the minerals to my animals. After a few weeks, I found an alternative feeder that I was happy with (picture below). These rotating decorations have separate compartments which I labeled with an acrylic marker and filled with individual minerals.
As soon as I presented the free choice minerals to my goats, they tasted different minerals, drank some water and went on their happy way. Since then, I have noticed increased energy, little scabs on their heads healing and shiny coats.
Thank you!
We started with using all the minerals and after spending a small fortune we decided to add a multi purpose mineral blend from Purina into the mix. Now our mineral buffet is basically V4, silicone and Purina. All the others are still available, just being consumed at a much slower rate and saving us a fair bit of money.
